At the Center: American Thought and Culture in the Mid-Twentieth Century - Paperback

by Casey Nelson Blake (Author), Daniel H. Borus (Author), Howard Brick (Author)

At the Center explores the mode of perception and reflection which grasped at consensus and sought to determine "centers" or orienting norms, and prevailed across many registers of thought, imagination, and practice in the 1950s, as well as the varieties of argument and expression that escaped inclusion within coherent wholes.
