Some see the 1980s as a Golden Age, a "Morning in America" when
Ronald Reagan revived America's economy, reoriented American
politics, and restored Americans' faith in their country and in
themselves. Others see the 1980s as a new "Gilded Age," an era that
was selfish, superficial, glitzy, greedy, divisive, and
destructive. This multifaceted exploration of the 1980s brings
together a variety of voices from different political persuasions,
generations, and vantage points. The volume features work by Reagan
critics and Reagan fans (including one of President Reagan's
closest aides, Ed Meese), by historians who think the 1980s were a
disastrous time, those who think it was a glorious time, and those
who see both the blessings and the curses of the decade. Their
essays examine everything from multiculturalism, Southern
conservatism, and Reaganomics, to music culture, religion, crime,
AIDS, and the city. A complex, thoughtful account of a watershed in
our recent history, this volume will engage anyone interested in
this pivotal decade.
