Real Folks: Race And Genre In The Great Depression,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
During the Great Depression, people from across the political spectrum sought to ground American identity in the rural knowhow of the folk. At the same time, certain writers, filmmakers, and intellectuals combined documentary and satire into a hybrid genre that revealed the folk as an anxious product of corporate capitalism, rather than an antidote to commercial culture. In Real Folks, Sonnet Retman analyzes the invention of the folk as figures of authenticity in the political culture of the 1930s, as well as the critiques that emerged in response. Diverse artists and intellectualsincluding the novelists George Schuyler and Nathanael West, the filmmaker Preston Sturges, and the anthropologist Zora Neale Hurstonilluminated the fabrication and exploitation of folk authenticity in New Deal and commercial narratives. They skewered the racist populisms that prevented interracial workingclass solidarity, prophesized the patriotic function of the folk for the nationstate in crisis, and made their readers and viewers feel selfconscious about the desire for authenticity. By illuminating the subversive satirical energy of the 1930s, Retman identifies a rich cultural tradition overshadowed until now by the scholarly focus on Depressionera social realism.
