The Fifties (Series : Decades) Af Tom Stacy

Hardback The period from 1950 to 1959 saw enormous changes in society. In the uneasy peace wich followed the Second World War, austerity gradually gave way to affluence and more and more consumer goods became available. At the start of the decade, young people were expected to dress and behave like their parents. Most of them did, but there was a growing spirit of rebellion as teenagers began to develop their own tastes and express their own opinions. THE FIFTIES looks at this decade in a new way. The emphasis is on the style of the period and the dramatic social changes that took place, especially in those areas directly concerning young people - music, clothes, the media, leisure, youth culture and style. These are seen against the background of the decade's maijor historical, political and technological events.
