Mrs. G. is a 75 year old Hispanic woman who has been relatively well all of her life. She had been married for 50 years and had five children. Her children are grown with families of their own. All but one of her children live in other states. Mrs. G.’s husband passed away last year, which was devastating for her. She had been very close to him and relied upon him for everything.

In the last month, Mrs. G. has fallen twice sustaining injuries, though minimal. Her home health nurse comes weekly to check in on her. Mrs. G. likes her very much and wishes she could come more often. Mrs. G.’s daughter who lives in the next town over, has been worried and decided with the urging of her siblings and the doctor to start looking for an assisted living facility for her mother. She found one last week and talked with the Director who said she would be happy to help in whatever way was best. The daughter decided to tell her mother that it was time for her to move, so she can be cared for and be safe. When she told her mother, Mrs. G. cried and said, “This will not happen ever.

A War for the Soul of America: A History of the Culture Wars, by Andrew Hartman.
Hartman argues that fights over American culture were constant through the 1970s, 80s, and 90s. And that these conflicts came out of the 1960s challenges to a “normative America.” On one side, were those defending those changes of the 1960s, and on the other were those seeking a return to that normative America. These “wars” over culture didn’t only occur in the arena of electoral politics, but on the many battlefields of the larger American culture – in films and music, in popular culture and television, and in schools and universities.
After reading this book, write ann which you comment on these conflicts. Why were these “culture wars” so significant to so many people? How significant were they to the larger story of American history or were they a distraction from other more important trends and events? Considering what you know about the 1920s, in what ways were these cultural conflicts a continuation of long-fought cultural battles and in what way were these fights of the 80s and 90s new to the American scene? Are these battles still being fought or has one side appeared to win?
