The Suburb of Dissent - Cultural Politics in the United States and Canada During the 1930s

"Irr provides a kaleidoscopic view of the recurring themes dominating 1930s intellectuals' writings. . . . "The Suburb of" "Dissent" will broaden the range of 1930s scholarship by insisting that the literature of American class conflict can only be fully understood comparatively."--Paula Rabinowitz, University of Minnesota
