The epithet "phony" was omnipresent during the postwar period in the United States. It was an easy appellation for individuals who appeared cynically to conform to codes of behavior for social approbation or advancement.

In exploring this remark, Abigail Cheever examines the ways in which social influence was thought to deform individuals in midcentury American culture. How could a person both be and not be herself at the same time? The answer lies in the period’s c

Familiar landmarks in hundreds of American towns, Carnegie libraries today seem far from controversial. However, Abigail A. Van Slyck shows that the classical facades and symmetrical plans of these buildings often mask a complex and contentious history. "This well-written and extensively researched work is a welcome addition to the history of architecture, librarianship, and philanthropy".--Joanne Passet, JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY. 79 photos.
