Caricatures of sixties television--called a "vast wasteland" by the
FCC president in the early sixties--continue to dominate our
perceptions of the era and cloud popular understanding of the
relationship between pop culture and larger social forces. Opposed
to these conceptions, The Revolution Wasn't Televised explores the
ways in which prime-time television was centrally involved in the
social conflicts of the 1960s. It was then that television became a
ubiquitous element in American homes. The contributors in this
volume argue that due to TV's constant presence in everyday life,
it became the object of intense debates over childraising,
education, racism, gender, technology, politics, violence, and
Vietnam. These essays explore the minutia of TV in relation to the
macro-structure of sixties politics and society, attempting to
understand the struggles that took place over representation the
nation's most popular communications media during the 1960s.
