Summary

"Men Enjoy Hobbies" explores the rise of male leisure in 1960s America, a period of significant social change. Fueled by post-war economic growth and emerging retirement trends, men found themselves with unprecedented free time, prompting a re-evaluation of traditional masculinity. The book examines how this newfound leisure impacted American society, delving into the burgeoning hobby industry and its role in shaping male identity. It reveals how shifts in work-life balance allowed men to explore activities like woodworking and model trains, driving new forms of self-expression. The study offers unique insights into how consumer culture responded to these shifts. The work begins by establishing the demographic and economic conditions that fostered the rise of male leisure, transitions into an examination of the social and psychological impact of this newfound freedom, and finishes with an examination of the societal impact of these trends. The book analyzes retirement data, sociological studies, and advertising campaigns to provide a nuanced understanding of the era. By combining quantitative data with qualitative analysis, "Men Enjoy Hobbies" provides a compelling look at the evolving roles of men in society, the impact on family dynamics, and the creation of new avenues for self-fulfillment. The book’s exploration of male leisure and its connection to broader social trends makes it a valuable resource for those interested in American social history and the evolution of gender roles.

    How a band of antislavery leaders recovered the radical philosophical inspirations of the first American Revolution to defeat the slaveholders' oligarchy in the Civil War. 
     
     
     
    In their struggle against the slaveholding oligarchy of their time, America's antislavery leaders found their way back to the rationalist, secularist, and essentially atheist inspiration for the first American Revolution. Frederick Douglass's unusual interest in radical German philosophers and Abraham Lincoln's buried allusions to the same thinkers are but a few of the clues that underlie this propulsive philosophical detective story. With fresh takes on forgotten thinkers like Theodore Parker, the excommunicated Unitarian minister who is the original source of some of Lincoln's most famous lines, Matthew Stewart tells the story of the battle between America's philosophical radicals and the conservative counterrevolution that swept the American republic in the first decades of its existence and persists in new forms up to the present day. In exposing the role of Christian nationalism and the collusion between northern economic elites and slaveholding oligarchs, An Emancipation of the Mind demands a significant revision in our understanding of the origins and meaning of the struggle over slavery in America—and offers a fresh perspective on struggles between democracy and elite power today.
