Reviews

Provides a timely new look at the 1920s. -- Joseph A. McCartin Journal of American History Discontented America is in a class by itself. Goldberg provides an engaging, nicely written narrative and draws upon a variety of secondary and primary sources to create an outstanding historical synthesis. -- Kenneth J. Heineman Ohio History A special contemporary contribution to remind readers that the decade's major conflicts-over women's suffrage, Prohibition, immigration restriction, and racial intolerance-all evolved around the postwar generation's palpable discomfort with diversity.
