reviewed The Cultural Front: The Laboring of American Culture in the Twentieth Century on July 02, 2009 The Cultural Front: The Laboring of American Culture in the Twentieth Century
Denning argues that the popular front (the broad radical, social-democratic movement forged around anti-fascism, anti-lynching/racism, and the industrial unionism of the CIO)'s "cultural front" movement reshaped ("labored") American culture regarding:
- use of "labor" or synonyms thereof in rhetoric
- increased influence on and participation of working-class Americans in culture and arts (result of expansion of mass culture/higher education/entertainment industries)
- labor of cultural production (the most convincing part of the book)
- social-democratic influence on the left of the new deal
- all producing a "second American Renaissance"
the first time, in other words, that the Left had a central impact on American culture.
