A Nation of Outsiders: How the White Middle Class Fell in Love with Rebellion in Postwar America
Hale, Grace Elizabeth (Professor of History and American Studies, Professor of History and American Studies, University of Virginia)
A broad cultural history of the postwar US, this book traces how middle-class white Americans increasingly embraced figures they understood as outsiders and used them to re-imagine their own cultural position as marginal and alienated. Romanticizing outsiders and becoming rebels, middle-class whites denied the contradictions between self-determination and social connection.
