“I Have No Past Life at All”
Although often linked in literary history to Beat writers such as Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac, who upturned literary conventions in the 1950s by transforming the art of personal revelation into an aesthetic form, William Burroughs shared little interest in the desire of his friends to expose their deepest secrets to their literary audiences. He argued instead that their poetics of revelation actually played into the hands of the rising nation…
Stephen R. Duncan. The Rebel Café
In 1955, Allen Ginsberg gave his first public reading of his poem “Howl” at the Six Gallery in San Francisco, a performance and a jeremiad that brought the Beat Generation and the postwar literary renaissance in northern California in general to national attention. In his discussion of this literary event in The Rebel Café: Sex, Race, and Politics in Cold War America’s Nightclub Underground, historian Stephen Duncan reminds us that Ginsberg’s per…
When the Movies Mattered
On December 8, 1967, the cover of Time announced the arrival of the “new Hollywood” following the success of Arthur Penn's Bonnie and Clyde (1967), a film that supposedly marked the end of a long-standing box office slump in the motion picture industry. Since then, the phrase “new Hollywood” has come to signify the grittier, more realistic films of Robert Altman, Martin Scorsese, Roman Polanski, Sidney Lumet, and other directors from the late 196…
An Unusual and Peculiar Relationship”
Constructing a Plan for Survival
Developed in the early 1950s by science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology was part of the larger postwar therapeutic culture that blended religion and psychology in a search for mental well-being. Unlike contemporaneous self-help gurus such as Norman Vincent Peale and Harry Overstreet, however, Hubbard painted a much bleaker portrait of modern life, one rife with forces of psychological and social control. Railing against communists, hom…

Captain America, Masculinity, and Violence
Understanding the Pow Experience
Facing accusations about weak military discipline following the supposedly poor behavior of American soldiers held captive during the Korean War, President Dwight Eisenhower instituted a Code of Conduct for the Armed Services in 1955. In response, military leaders hired numerous social and behavioral scientists to investigate the nature of the prisoner‐of‐war (POW) experience. These researchers not only challenged official government accounts of …

American Literature and Culture in an Age of Cold War
The essays in American Literature and Culture in an Age of Cold War remind us once again that scholars working outside the history profession are currently producing some of the most innovative work in the field of Cold War studies. Inspired by the pathbreaking works of the literary critics Alan Nadel and Thomas Schaub, which link the U.S. policy of containment to corresponding efforts to contain domestic dissent, the editors of this collection h…
