Book excerpt: From early farming and industrial roots, St. Charles has developed into a city with strong cultural and leisure offerings. Its natural attractions, strong philanthropic presence, and a community vision sprung from hard work and commitment earn this western Chicago suburb the designation of All-American town. Author Costas Spirou guides readers through the city's 19th-century population explosion and industrialization that provided the economic fuel for the growth of culture and promotion of natural resources. During the 1920s and 1930s, St. Charles'location on the beautiful Fox River, advances in transportation, and significant construction projects such as the Hotel Baker and Arcada Theater further established the city's attraction to visitors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans have a long history of public arguments about taste, the uses of leisure, and what is culturally appropriate in a democracy that has a strong work ethic. Michael Kammen surveys these debates as well as our changing taste preferences, especially in the past century, and the shifting perceptions that have accompanied them. Professor Kammen shows how the post-traditional popular culture that flourished after the 1880s became full-blown mass culture after World War II, in an era of unprecedented affluence and travel. He charts the influence of advertising and opinion polling; the development of standardized products, shopping centers, and mass-marketing; the separation of youth and adult culture; the gradual repudiation of the genteel tradition; and the commercialization of organized entertainment. He stresses the significance of television in the shaping of mass culture, and of consumerism in its reconfiguration over the past two decades. Focusing on our own time, Kammen discusses the use of the fluid nature of cultural taste to enlarge audiences and increase revenues, and reveals how the public role of intellectuals and cultural critics has declined as the power of corporate sponsors and promoters has risen. As a result of this diminution of cultural authority, he says, definitive pronouncements have been replaced by divergent points of view, and there is, as well, a tendency to blur fact and fiction, reality and illusion. An important commentary on the often conflicting ways Americans have understood, defined, and talked about their changing culture in the twentieth century.
