An eclectic look at mass media and popular culture from contributors including Bell Hooks, Noam Chomsky and Manning Marable. "One Step Forward" traces radical politics and culture in the US through the Cold War, the swinging sixties and the conservative era of Reagan and Bush. It assesses the main oppositional movements such as the civil rights, women's liberation and peace protestors, their position at the margins, their influence and their legacies. Contributions include: Todd Gitlin on "1968: The Two Cultures"; Jeffrey Walsh on "The Radical Muse: US poetry from Allen Ginsberg to Adrienne Rich"; Bell Hooks on "Black Women's Literature"; Kevin Carragee on "US Media and Popular Culture" and Noam Chomsky on "The Nineties and Beyond".
