I lived thorugh the 70s but never before realized how much that era has affected our lives today. The book is a fascinating blend of design and social history. and Hine ties all the disparate odds and ends togther. Before. I saw only the pieces - he shows us the whole. The Great Funk is a very serious document of an era. yet I laughed all the way through. Hine makes us remember things we paid no attention to then. and have long since forgotten. and makes it all make sense. Hine is famous as an astute design critic. but he is also a social historian with a rare sensitivity and a keen nose for nuances. The amazing part is that he writes it all with a sense of humor and sly grin. and turns a serious subject into a page-turner. If you were born after the 70s.you will see your parents through a new lens and begin to understand why their house is filled with too many plants. flea market finds and why dad still wears his Mexican poncho. Just dont ask if they ever went to Platos Retreat. I couldnt put this book down. The Great Funk. along with Populuxe will be a great gift for those who lived through those times and those who wish they had.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. The Great Funk gets itBy M. hamptonFinally. a book on the 1970s that gets a larger theme beyond watergate and inflation. The Great Funk is about ideas. consciousness and meaning. The Great Funk is the book that gets at the meaning of polyester and WIN buttons: the great theme of the big funk. One of the reasons for this is that its author is a sober. serious historian who is also a design critic. Hine gets that things like fashion and design can reflect profound changes in consciousness. To my mind he is the first author to try and make sense of that decades fashion choices. Hines book is dense with information and is an absolute must for anyone interested in the 1970s and above all. for anyone sick of the standard baby boomer narrative of history that weve been stuck with for the past thirty years.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
