Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Hollywood studios and record
companies churned out films, albums, music videos and promotional
materials that sought to recapture, revise, and re-imagine the
1950s. Breaking from the dominant wisdom that casts the trend as
wholly defined by Ronald Reagan's politics or the rise of
postmodernism, Back to the Fifties reveals how Fifties nostalgia
from 1973 to 1988 was utilized by a range of audiences for diverse
and often competing agendas. Films from American Graffiti to
Hairspray and popular music from Sha Na Na to Michael Jackson
shaped-and was shaped by-the complex social, political and cultural
conditions of the Reagan Era. By closely examining the ways that
"the Fifties" were remade and recalled, Back to the Fifties
explores how cultural memory is shaped for a generation of
teenagers trained by popular culture to rewind, record, recycle and
replay.
