A wide-ranging cultural and political history that will forever redefine a misunderstood decade, Stayin' Alive is prize-winning historian Jefferson Cowie's remarkable account of how working-class America hit the rocks in the political and economic upheavals of the 1970s. In this edgy and incisive book, Cowie, with "an ear for the power and poetry of vernacular speech" (Cleveland Plain Dealer), reveals America's fascinating path from rising incomes and optimism of the New Deal to the widening economic inequalities and dampened expectations of the present.

Masterpiece. Compelling social and cultural history
Revisado: 05-12-20
Stunning prose, great storytelling and sense-making. A journey through 70s history and culture (film, music, television) through the lens of labor. Prescient and passionate. Like taking a time machine back 50+ years with the insights of the future (presages 2016-2020 though written in 2012). Brilliant.
