Curating Culture tells the story of how American print magazines created communities and brought together diverse groups of people who shared common interests and passions. It explains how some of the nation's best-known magazines influenced and interacted with American culture in the 20th century. Before the internet, print magazines played a singular role in creating relationships among readers who shared diverse interests. In this book, leading magazine scholars and historians have contributed chapters about magazines that focused on such topics as folk music, regional lifestyles, politics and current events, farming and rural life, homemaking, gay rights, vegetarianism, and men's and women's issues. These essays created the enduring legacy of 20th century print magazines as places where people found community.--David E. Sumner, Professor Emeritus of Journalism, Ball State University, author, The Magazine Century
