‘Roots and rootlessness’ examines the period from the end of World War I to the end of World War II, which was marked by intellectual daring and profound antimodernism. The Roaring Twenties yielded new insights into human nature and experiments in modernist poetry, art, and literature. The decade also witnessed fears about loose sexual mores, racial mongrelization, and deicide. In the aftermath of victory in World War I, American thinkers from diverse backgrounds and viewpoints participated in a common project of finding new terms and modes of expression for understanding America. They examined America’s unfinished revolution for freedom and equality and provided new inspiration for finding unity in its diversity. |
