American Literature and the Long Downturn

This volume studies how the economic crisis of the 1970s and the rise of neoliberalism established the conditions for a contemporary American literary form: the neoliberal apocalypse. It reveals how contemporary American cultural and literary narratives have been shaped by the widespread tendency to see our present as apocalyptic. Introduction; 1 James Baldwin's Apocalypse; 2 White Rage, White Rapture; 3 Evening in America; 4 Human Capital; 5 Almost Magic; Conclusion
