Nostalgia and Paranoia in Recent American Popular Culture

Owen Cantrell

In this book, Owen Cantrell interprets American popular culture of the past four decades through the lens of paranoia and nostalgia - twin structures of feeling. Cantrell argues that these culturally-pervasive emotions stem from the United States' fraught political relationship to history during this period as a result of the backlash to the Second Reconstruction (1980-2008) and the Third Reconstruction (2008-present).
