Description

Explore the evolution of surfing as a defining American cultural archetype in Kristin Lawler's comprehensive examination. This Routledge academic work traces the surfer image from its ancient Hawaiian origins through Waikiki beach at the dawn of the twentieth century, Depression-era California, and its cultural peak in the early sixties, into the modern era where surfing has achieved unprecedented global popularity. Lawler analyzes how surfing imagery permeates American popular culture across films, novels, television, magazines, newspapers, music, and advertising, revealing the complex interplay between radical culture and capitalism that has shaped this enduring symbol. Part of the Routledge Advances in Sociology series, this book offers critical insights into how the surfer archetype reflects and influences American society, consumer culture, and global trends. Essential reading for sociology students, cultural scholars, and anyone interested in understanding how subcultural movements become mainstream commodities.
