Product Information
In the wake of World War II, Americans developed an unusually deep and all-encompassing national unity, as postwar affluence and the Cold War combined to naturally produce a remarkable level of agreement about the nation's core values. Or so the story has long been told. Inventing the "American Way" challenges this vision of inevitable consensus. Americans, as Wendy Wall argues in this innovative book, were united, not so much by identical beliefs, as by a shared conviction that a distinctive "American Way" existed and that the affirmation of such common ground was essential to the future of the nation. Moreover, the roots of consensus politics lie not in the Cold War era, but in the turbulent decade that preceded U.S. entry into World War II. The social and economic chaos of the Depression years alarmed a diverse array of groups, as did the rise of two "alien" ideologies: fascism and communism. In this context, Americans of divergent backgrounds and beliefs seized on the notion of a unifying "American Way" and sought to convince their fellow citizens of its merits.

Reviews
"Bold and thoughtful.This book dispels the central myths of modern America, showing that the consensus of the postwar era was a self-conscious effort to cover up the country's true traditions of conflict."--Kevin M. Kruse, Princeton University, "Wendy Wall investigates the cultural construction of the term the 'American Way' and stresses the ways in which a nation fragmented by class, interest, and diverse ethnic and racial backgrounds contested its operational meanings. Her well-written and highly suggestive book helps reframeissues of national identity and so-called 'consensus' in the decade before and after World War II."--Emily S. Rosenberg, University of California, Irvine, "Wendy Wall's careful and intelligent study shows that post-World War II 'consensus' was an idea deliberately constructed by a diverse group of political and economic elites as well as minority-group representatives, often for competing reasons, but for the common goal of shaping national unity and identity. In so doing, she contributes greatly to our understanding of mid-twentieth century political culture."--Steven Lawson, author of Civil Rights Crossroads: Nation, Community, andthe Black Freedom Struggle, "Wall's book is a valuable study, clearly the product of many years' work, covering a lot of ground and filled with well-considered judgments. She has gone a long way in investigating exactly how various constituencies sought to shape Americans' understanding of their own political culture in the middle years of the twentieth century."--Doug Rossinow, Reviews in American History, "This carefully documented and closely reasoned analysis of American national identity demonstrates the appeal of the ideal of 'consensus' for a great variety of socio-economic, religious, and cultural constituencies not only in the 1950s, but in the two previous decades. One of the mostinformative studies yet written of the dynamics of nationalism in twentieth century America."--David A. Hollinger, University of California, Berkeley, "Wall's argument is not only effective but also well buttressed with an abundance of historical evidence.... This provocative, thoughtful work is a noteworthy contribution in US social history. Highly recommended."--T. Maxwell-Long,CHOICE "Wall's book is a valuable study, clearly the product of many years' work, covering a lot of ground and filled with well-considered judgments. She has gone a long way in investigating exactly how various constituencies sought to shape Americans' understanding of their own political culture in the middle years of the twentieth century."--Doug Rossinow,Reviews in American History "This carefully documented and closely reasoned analysis of American national identity demonstrates the appeal of the ideal of 'consensus' for a great variety of socio-economic, religious, and cultural constituencies not only in the 1950s, but in the two previous decades. One of the most informative studies yet written of the dynamics of nationalism in twentieth century America."--David A. Hollinger, University of California, Berkeley "In this bold and thoughtful study, Wendy Wall demonstrates convincingly that concepts most Americans now take for granted were created at mid-century to mask deep divisions in American society. This book dispels the central myths of modern America, showing that the consensus of the postwar era was a self-conscious effort to cover up the country's true traditions of conflict."--Kevin M.

Her well-written and highly suggestive book helps reframe issues of national identity and so-called 'consensus' in the decade before and after World War II."--Emily S. Rosenberg, University of California, Irvine "Wendy Wall offers a new and cogent interpretation of American identity in the twentieth century. Her book is the first that I have seen to integrate so effectively careful analysis of how politicians, intellectuals, businesspeople, labor unions, and ethnic organizations worked--in shifting coalitions--to promote a predominant set of assumptions about citizenship and patriotism. She provides a sympathetic but also critical account of how people coped with fear and uncertainty at mid-century.Inventing the American Wayhas many vital lessons to teach us about identity politics in our own times."--Jeremi Suri, University of Wisconsin "Critically expands the literature demonstrating that business leaders in the postwar period remained intensely interested in finding ways to shape American culture and politics."--Kim Phillips-Fein,Business History Review "With clear prose and an overarching, convincing thesis, the book examines national identity during three distinct, event-packed periods."--Keith W. Olson,The Journal of American History "The significant contribution this book makes is the way in which it identifies the creation and circulation of a framework of consensus as a 'political project,' one that originated as one side of an argument in teh 1930s and then became a widely, though not universally, accepted form of common sense in teh 1950s." --American Historical Review, "Wall's argument is not only effective but also well buttressed with an abundance of historical evidence.... This provocative, thoughtful work is a noteworthy contribution in US social history. Highly recommended."--T. Maxwell-Long, CHOICE "Wall's book is a valuable study, clearly the product of many years' work, covering a lot of ground and filled with well-considered judgments.
