Summary:
In this book Gwendolyn Wright contends that American Modernism is not merely a branch of the European Modern Movement brought across the Atlantic by émigrés and often misinterpreted, but rather an exciting and evolving hybrid of distinctive ambitions, sensibilities and cultures. From early suburbs and skyscrapers in the aftermath of the Civil War to Art Deco and other experiments that flourished in the 1920s, to postmodernism and major new projects of today, Wright explains the dynamic relationships between social and political issues, broad cultural trends and changing concepts of modern life.
