While the
1950s
have been popularly portrayed
—
on
television and in the movies and literature
—
as a con¬
formist and conservative age, the decade is better
understood as a revolutionary time for politics, econ¬
omy, mass media, and family life. Magazines, films,
newspapers, and television of the day scrutinized
every aspect of this changing society, paying special
attention to the lifestyles of the middle-class men and
their families who were moving to the suburbs newly
springing up outside American cities. Much of this
attention focused on issues of masculinity, both to
enforce accepted ideas and to understand serious
departures from the norm. Neither a period of "male
crisis" nor yet a time of free experimentation, the
decade was marked by contradiction and a wide
spectrum of role models. This was, in short, the age
of Tennessee Williams as well as John Wayne.
In Men in the Middle, James Gilbert uncovers a fas¬
cinating and extensive body of literature that show¬
cases the problems and possibilities of expressing
masculinity in the
1950s.
Drawing on the biographies
of men who explored manhood either in their writ¬
ings or in their public
personas,
Gilbert examines the
stories of several of the most important figures of the
day
—
revivalist Billy Graham, playwright Tennessee
Williams, sociologist David Riesman, sex researcher
Alfred Kinsey, Playboy literary editor
Auguste
Comte
Spectorsky, and TV-sitcom dad Ozzie Nelson
—
and
allows us to see beyond the inherited stereotypes
of the time. Each of these stories, in Gilbert's hands,
adds crucial dimensions to our understanding of
masculinity the
1950s.
No longer will this era be seen
solely in terms of the conformist man in the gray
flannel suit or the Marlboro Man. |
