The Roaring Twenties were marked by rapid changes in technology, society, politics, and culture. The decade witnessed the rise of consumer culture, mass media, and celebrity culture, which had a profound impact on American life. This book examines how these changes affected American culture during this period and how they continue to shape our understanding of ourselves and our place in the world today. The 1920s was a time of great social change, as women gained the right to vote, Prohibition led to the rise of organized crime, and immigration from Southern and Eastern Europe transformed the country's ethnic makeup. At the same time, new technologies such as radio, film, and automobiles became ubiquitous, transforming the way Americans lived, worked, and entertained themselves. This book explores the interplay between technology, culture, and society during this pivotal decade, revealing how these factors influenced each other and shaped the modern world we live in today. It argues that the 1920s laid the groundwork for many of the cultural trends that define our lives today, from the dominance of popular culture to the growing divide between rich and poor.

Бурные двадцатые годы были отмечены быстрыми изменениями в технологиях, обществе, политике и культуре. Десятилетие стало свидетелем роста культуры потребления, средств массовой информации и культуры знаменитостей, что оказало глубокое влияние на американскую жизнь. В этой книге рассматривается, как эти изменения повлияли на американскую культуру в этот период и как они продолжают формировать наше понимание себя и нашего места в мире сегодня. 1920-е годы были временем больших социальных перемен, поскольку женщины получили право голоса, сухой закон привёл к росту организованной преступности, а иммиграция из Южной и Восточной Европы изменила этнический состав страны. В то же время новые технологии, такие как радио, кино и автомобили, стали повсеместными, изменив образ жизни, работу и развлечения американцев. Эта книга исследует взаимодействие между технологиями, культурой и обществом в течение этого ключевого десятилетия, раскрывая, как эти факторы повлияли друг на друга и сформировали современный мир, в котором мы живем сегодня. В нем утверждается, что 1920-е годы заложили основу для многих культурных тенденций, которые определяют нашу жизнь сегодня, от доминирования массовой культуры до растущего разрыва между богатыми и бедными. Ревущие двадцатые были отмечены быстрыми изменениями в технологиях, обществе, политике и культуре. Десятилетие стало свидетелем роста культуры потребления, средств массовой информации и культуры знаменитостей, что оказало глубокое влияние на американскую жизнь.

Gli anni Venti sono stati segnati da rapidi cambiamenti nella tecnologia, nella società, nella politica e nella cultura. Il decennio ha visto crescere la cultura del consumo, i media e la cultura delle celebrità, con un profondo impatto sulla vita americana. Questo libro considera come questi cambiamenti hanno influenzato la cultura americana in questo periodo e come continuano a formare la nostra comprensione di noi stessi e del nostro posto nel mondo oggi. Gli annì 20 sono stati un momento di grande cambiamento sociale, con le donne che hanno diritto di voto, la legge secca che ha portato alla crescita della criminalità organizzata, e l'immigrazione dall'meridionale e orientale ha cambiato la composizione etnica del Paese. Allo stesso tempo, le nuove tecnologie, come la radio, il cinema e le automobili, sono divenute universali, cambiando lo stile di vita, il lavoro e l'intrattenimento degli americani. Questo libro esplora l'interazione tra tecnologia, cultura e società nel corso di questo decennio chiave, rivelando come questi fattori si siano influenzati e abbiano formato il mondo moderno in cui viviamo oggi. Sostiene che gli annì 20 hanno gettato le basi per molte delle tendenze culturali che oggi determinano la nostra vita, dal dominio della cultura di massa al divario crescente tra ricchi e poveri.
