The past is never dead. It's not even past

Not Even Past

Dolph Briscoe IV

The Seventies: The Great Shift in American Culture, Society, and Politics by Bruce J. Schulman (2001)

March 7, 2012

Bruce J. Schulman in his 2001 work The Seventies: The Great Shift in American Culture, Society, and Politics surveys the history of an overlooked decade. Defining the “long 1970s” as the period between Richard Nixon’s entrance in the White House in 1969 and Ronald Reagan’s landslide reelection in 1984, Schulman counters popular conceptions that the decade was seemingly forgettable and unimportant.
