Over the last half of the twentieth century, culture moved to the
foreground of political and intellectual life. Suddenly everyone
discovered that culture had been mass produced like Ford's cars;
the masses had culture and culture had a mass. Culture was
everywhere, no longer the property of the cultured or the
cultivated. Radical social movements around the globe invented a
politics of culture. Culture In the Age of Three Worlds is a
reflection on this cultural turn which was a fundamental aspect of
the age of three worlds, that short half century between 1945 and
1989 when it was imagined that the world was divided into three-the
capitalist first world, the communist second world, and the
decolonizing third world. Recasting the legacies of British
cultural studies and the radical traditions of the American studies
movement in a global context, Michael Denning explores the
political and intellectual battles over the meanings of culture,
addresses the rise of a distinctive 'American ideology,' and charts
the lineaments of the global cultures that emerged as three worlds
gave way to one.
