Peanuts and American Culture - Essays on Charles M. Schulz's Iconic Comic Strip (Paperback)

Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz insisted good ol' Charlie Brown
and his friends were neither "great art" nor "significant." Yet
Schulz's acclaimed daily comic strip-syndicated in thousands of
newspapers over five decades-brilliantly mirrored tensions in
American society during the second half of the 20th century.
Focusing on the strip's Cold War roots, this collection of new
essays explores existentialism, the reshaping of the nuclear
family, the Civil Rights Movement, 1960s counterculture, feminism,
psychiatry and fear of the bomb. Chapters focus on the development
of Lucy, Peppermint Patty, Schroeder, Franklin, Shermy, Snoopy and
the other characters that became American icons.
