"The rise of commercialized leisure coincided with the arrival of millions of immigrants to America's cities. Conflict was inevitable as older generations attempted to preserve their traditions, values, and ethnic identities, while the young sought out the cheap amusements and sexual freedom which the urban landscape offered.

At immigrant picnics, social clubs, and urban dance halls, Randy McBee discovers distinct and highly contested gender lines, proving that the battle between the ages was also one between the sexes."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Details

Table of Contents

Marriages were a little different then : marriages upon short acquaintance and immigrant, working-class life
The era of large ballrooms and famous bands : the rise of commercial leisure and the making of a peer culture
The girls here are like crazy : working-class women's heterosocial leisure and homosocial fun
That's alright, I have my gang here : working-class male culture and the struggle over gender, identity, and dance
And you know the old saying about familiarity breeding contempt : working-class male culture, social clubs, and heterosocial leisure
When it comes to my marrying, boy, there will be a lot of strings pulled by my parents : familial conflict, commercial leisure, and weddings.
