No Direction Home offers a powerful and richly original analysis of American culture in the 1970s. Natasha Zaretsky's book is a tour de force that marshals sociology, economics, and psychology to explain how Americans, once sure of their destiny, plunged in the 1970s into a profound pessimism not only about their place in the world, but also about the integrity of their own institutions-from the government in Washington to the home and hearth. This pessimism-combining a sense of national peril with a fear of moral and personal decline-gave rise to the Republican realignment of the 1980s and underlay the conservative revival after September 11, 2001.

Between 1968 and 1980, fears about family deterioration and national decline were ubiquitous in American political culture. In No Direction Home, Natasha Zaretsky shows that these perceptions of decline profoundly shaped one another.

Between 1968 and 1980, fears about family deterioration and national decline were ubiquitous in American political culture. Throughout the 1970s, anxieties about the future of the nuclear family collided with anxieties about the direction of the United States in the wake of military defeat in Vietnam and in the midst of economic recession, Zaretsky explains. By exploring such themes as the controversy surrounding prisoners of war in Southeast Asia, the OPEC oil embargo of 1973-74, and debates about cultural narcissism, Zaretsky reveals that the 1970s marked a significant turning point in the history of American nationalism.
