Argues that the emergence of a politicized evangelical youth culture in fact rankd as one of the major achievements of "third wave" conservatism in the late twentieth century.

Full Description

"Witnessing Suburbia" is a lively cultural analysis of the conservative shift in national politics that transformed the United States during the Reagan-Bush era. Eileen Luhr focuses on two fundamental aspects of this shift: the suburbanization of evangelicalism and the rise of Christian popular culture, especially popular music. Taking us from the Jesus Freaks of the late 1960s to Christian heavy metal music to Christian rock festivals and beyond, she shows how evangelicals succeeded in 'witnessing' to America's suburbs in a consumer idiom. Luhr argues that the emergence of a politicized evangelical youth culture in fact ranks as one of the major achievements of 'third wave' conservatism in the late twentieth century.
