Contents Home improvement : Christian cultural criticism and the defense of "traditional" authority -- Rebel with a cross : the creation of a Christian youth culture -- Metal missionaries to the nation : Christian heavy metal music, 1984-1994 -- "An MTV approach to evangelism" : the cultural politics of suburban revivalism.
Summary Witnessing Suburbia is a 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. 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. --from publisher description
