Description

Professor Brinkley looks at the time in American history when the idea of the American dream first emerged -- the Great Depression. To illustrate the variety of ways in which the American people have defined the dream, Brinkley discusses four interpretations of the Great Depression, described as persistence, empathy, rebellion, and community.
