Hard Hats, Rednecks, and Macho Men

By Derek Nystrom

0 - Default Title
Description
Hard Hats, Rednecks, and Macho Men examines a wide range of American films from the 1970s and argues that their persistent depictions of white, working-class masculinity provided a powerful class fantasy, one that spoke to middle-class anxieties provoked by the period's social and political upheavals. Drawing on iconic films from the era -- Saturday Night Fever, Looking for Mr. Goodbar, Walking Tall, and Five Easy Pieces, among others -- Nystrom presents an incisive, evocative study of labor, class, and American cinema in the wake of Vietnam, women's and gay liberation, the rise of the New Right, and other events that defined the decade.
