This Man Was Obsessed By His 1950s Suburban Upbringing

I interviewed James Gilbert in 1989. He grew up in the 1950s and became a passionate observer, analyst and writer focused on that era. He is a Fulbright professor of history at the University of Maryland. He has written 11 books. I found his perspective uniquely fascinating because he grew up as a middle-class white kid in suburbia and continues to analyze his experience and the generation that came from 1950s suburban America. #suburbia #1950s #middleclass
