Archie Bunker for President
Delving into the intersection of television entertainment and American politics during the 1970s, focusing on the sitcom All in the Family, this book explores how political campaigns, social movements, and legislators leveraged the show’s popularity for their own agendas. From Archie Bunker’s reactionary bigotry, to Edith Bunker’s symbolic role in the Equal Rights Amendment campaign, and the show’s creator and producer Norman Lear’s defiance against government censorship, Oscar Winberg uncovers the profound impact of television on political strategies and institutions. Oscar Winberg’s capacious research, including in Norman Lear’s private archive, shows how All in the Family se...
The ^AMormon Image in the American Mind
What do Americans think about Mormons, and why do they think what they do? J.B. Haws reveals the dramatic transformation of American thought about Mormons over a period of forty years, showing how a surprising range of personalities, organizations, and events -- the Osmonds, the Olympics, the Tabernacle Choir, Evangelical Christians, the Equal Rights Amendment, Sports Illustrated, and even Miss America -- helped to shape the American public's understanding of Mormon history.
DNA Mormon
Few lives have been as consequential for modern Mormonism as D. Michael Quinn. The son of a Mexican immigrant father and a California Mormon mother, Quinn became an influential participant in the New Mormon History movement. Much of his scholarly work remains classic in the field. Yet while he was publicly celebrated for his award-winning books and articles, he privately struggled to reconcile his sexuality with his faith. Eventually, his revisionist scholarship and homosexuality placed him in the crosshairs of church leaders, and he was excommunicated as one of the September Six in 1993. This compilation is a rigorous and riveting assessment of Quinn’s legacy. In this volume, scholars examine him as a historical figure who helps us better understand modern Mormonism. They also probe his role as a historiographical titan. These essays enable us to analyze his influence on scholarship that both preceded and followed him. More than an investigation into his life and work, DNA Mormon uncovers the world in which he lived.
