In the 1920s, cultural and political reactions to the Red Scare in
America contributed to a marked shift in the way Americans thought
about sexuality, womanhood, manhood, and family life. The Russian
Revolution prompted anxious Americans sensing a threat to social
order to position heterosexuality, monogamy, and the family as a
bulwark against radicalism.
In her probing and engaging book, "Red War on the Family, " Erica
Ryan traces the roots of sexual modernism and the history of
antiradicalism and antifeminism. She illuminates how Americans
responded to foreign and domestic threats and expressed nationalism
by strengthening traditional gender and family roles-especially by
imposing them on immigrant groups, workers, women, and young
people.
Ryan argues that the environment of political conformity in the
1920s was maintained in part through the quest for cultural and
social conformity, exemplified by white, middle-class family life.
"Red War on the Family "charts the ways Americanism both reinforced
and was reinforced by these sexual and gender norms in the decades
after World War I.
