In this rigorous and challenging analysis of American postmodernity, Anthony Woodiwiss re-examines the political, economic and social life of the United States over the past 60 years.
Exploring the rise and fall of modernism as a social ideology, he offers a distinctive and original interpretation of the unique experience of American modernity and the arrival of the postmodern world. The result is both a novel history of postwar America and a significant contribution to the idea of postmodernism as a social and cultural form. Postmodernity USA also carries lessons for the understanding of class, culture and politics in late industrial societies in general.
Anthony Woodiwiss is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Sociology at the University of Essex. His previous books include Social Theory After Postmodernism, Rights versus Conspiracy: A Sociological Essay on the Development of Labour Law in the United States and Law, Labour and Society in Japan: From Repression to Reluctant Recognition.
