In 1930s, crises brought by Depression, climatic devastation, and rearmament of Europe led Americans from all walks of life to believe that capitalism and technology had synthesized into a monstrous force that threatened human race. This book traces symbolism of embattled and recuperative body across a spectrum of American culture in Machine Age.
