Describes the formation of a masculine ideology in the decades prior to the war, and shows how it thrived - on the job, and through union politics. This title provides a context for our ideas of postwar masculinity and whiteness and finally returns the men of the home front to our reckoning of the Greatest Generation and the New Deal era.

In Across the Great Divide some of our leading historians look to both the history of masculinity in the West and to the ways that this experience has been represented in movies, popular music, dimestore novels, and folklore.
