Weary from the turbulent sixties, America entered the 1970s hoping for calm. Instead, the war in Vietnam and its troubled aftermath persisted, the Watergate scandal unfolded, and continuing social unrest at home and abroad provided the backdrop for the new decade. The scene was similar in Hollywood, as it experienced greater upheaval than at any point since the coming of sound. As the studio and star systems declined, actors had more power than ever, and because many had become fiercely politicized by the temper of the times, the movies they made were often more challenging than before. Thus, just when it might have faded out, Hollywood was reborn--but what was the nature of this rebirth?
Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
In "Fair Sex, Savage Dreams" Jean Walton examines the work of early
feminist psychoanalytic writing to decipher in it the
unacknowledged yet foundational role of race. Focusing on the 1920s
and 1930s, a time when white women were actively refashioning
Freud's problematic accounts of sexual subjectivity, Walton rereads
in particular the writing of British analysts Joan Riviere and
Melanie Klein, modernist poet H.D., the eccentric French analyst
Marie Bonaparte, and anthropologist Margaret Mead.
