{"product_id":"red-war-on-the-family-1","title":"Red War on the Family","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eIn the 1920s, cultural and political reactions to the Red Scare in America contributed to a marked shift in the way Americans thought about sexuality, womanhood, manhood, and family life. The Russian Revolution prompted anxious Americans sensing a threat to social order to position heterosexuality, monogamy, and the family as a bulwark against radicalism.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e In her probing and engaging book, \u003ci\u003eRed War on the Family,\u003c\/i\u003e Erica Ryan traces the roots of sexual modernism and the history of antiradicalism and antifeminism. She illuminates how Americans responded to foreign and domestic threats and expressed nationalism by strengthening traditional gender and family roles-especially by imposing them on immigrant groups, workers, women, and young people.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Ryan argues that the environment of political conformity in the 1920s was maintained in part through the quest for cultural and social conformity, exemplified by white, middle-class family life. \u003ci\u003eRed War on the Family \u003c\/i\u003echarts the ways Americanism both reinforced and was reinforced by these sexual and gender norms in the decades after World War I. \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Erica J Ryan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53614447100284,"sku":"9781439908853","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9781439908853_29153468-ffba-4a79-8c78-0a0a625b8c38.jpg?v=1727778462","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/red-war-on-the-family-1","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
