At Midcentury, Americans Increasingly Fell In Love With Characters Like Holden Caulfield In Catcher In The Rye And Marlon Brando'S Johnny In The Wild One, Musicians Like Elvis Presley And Bob Dylan, And Activists Like The Members Of The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. These Emotions Enabled Some Middleclass Whites To Cut Free Of Their Own Histories And Identify With Those Who, While Lacking Economic, Political, Or Social Privilege, Seemed To Possess Instead Vital Cultural Resources And A Depth Of Feeling Not Found In 'Grey Flannel' America.In This Wideranging And Vividly Written Cultural History, Grace Elizabeth Hale Sheds Light On Why So Many White Middleclass Americans Chose To Reimagine Themselves As Outsiders In The Second Half Of The Twentieth Century And Explains How This Unprecedented Shift Changed American Culture And Society. Love For Outsiders Launched The Politics Of Both The New Left And The New Right. From The Midsixties Through The Eighties, It Flourished In The Hippie Counterculture, The Backtotheland Movement, The Jesus People Movement, And Among Fundamentalist And Pentecostal Christians Working To Position Their Traditional Isolation And Separatism As Strengths. It Changed The Very Meaning Of 'Authenticity' And 'Community.'Ultimately, The Romance Of The Outsider Provided A Creative Resolution To An Intractable Midcentury Cultural And Political Conflictthe Struggle Between The Desire For Selfdetermination And Autonomy And The Desire For A Morally Meaningful And Authentic Life.
