The 1920s is often recognised as a decade of fascism, flappers and
film. Covering the political, economic and social developments of
the 1920s throughout the world, The Global 1920s takes an
international and cross-cultural perspective on the critical
changes and conditions that prevailed from roughly 1919 to 1930.
With twelve chapters on themes including international diplomacy
and the imperial powers, film and music, art and literature, women
and society, democracy, fascism, and science and technology, this
book explores both the 'big' questions of capitalism, class and
communism on the one hand and the everyday experience of citizens
around the globe on the other. Utilising archival sources
throughout, it concludes with an extensive discussion of the
circumstances surrounding the 1929 stock market crash and the onset
of the Great Depression, the effects of which were felt worldwide.
Covering topics from the oil boom in South America to the start of
civil war in China, employment advances and setbacks for women
across the globe, and the advent of radio and air travel, the
authors provide a concise yet comprehensive overview of this
turbulent decade. Containing illustrations and a selection of
discussion questions at the end of each chapter, this book is
valuable reading for students of the 1920s in global history.
