Rainbow at Midnight details the origins and evolution of working-class strategies for independence during and after World War II. Arguing that the 1940s may well have been the most revolutionary decade in U.S. history, George Lipsitz combines popular culture, politics, economics, and history to show how war mobilization transformed the working class and how that transformation brought issues of race, gender, and democracy to the forefront of American political culture. This book is a substantially revised and expanded work developed from the author's heralded 1981 Class and Culture in Cold War America.
''Simply breathtaking! A brilliant, subtle rendering of class conflict in postwar America... An extraordinarily sophisticated discussion of gender, race, and popular culture.'' -- Robin D. G. Kelley, author of Race Rebels: Culture, Politics, and the Black Working Class.
