Reviews
Goldberg is a gifted storyteller, carrying readers into the worlds of colorful, nearly forgotten activists . . . . Given that this book builds on the historiographies of American peace movements, civil rights, feminist theory and practice, and the histories of childhood, material culture, and mass media, scholars and educators will find it a relevant addition to a wide range of courses addressing these topics., Radical Play provides an excellent historical analysis of a social movement that coalesced among various groups during the 1960s and 1970s to limit consumption of toy guns and other war toys, to produce playthings (particularly dolls) that represent and empower women and minorities, and to encourage 'progressive parenting' and education that brought left-liberal values to children's popular culture. More than just a history of popular toys of the era, this book brings together social historical strands of human development psychology, sociology of the family, consumer culture, and the politics of social justice movements into a readable and riveting narrative of a formative era of the 1960s to elucidate public discourse on toys that has shaped the attitudes and expectations of future generations since then. . . . Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty., Radical Play offers a sustained narrative of how toymakers engaged with and responded to critiques of toys related to violence and racial and gender stereotypes. Rob Goldberg tells terrific stories about the efforts of activist groups and the industry, collating them in such a way that toys become linked to broader social, cultural, and political moves in the United States. His critical and nuanced account of the toy world's politics tells an important story while serving as a model for how future researchers might engage with toys as primary sources., Fascinating and well-researched . . . . For anyone with an interest in the history of the U.S. Toy Industry, Goldberg's book is a great read and offers a look into a segment of that history that has rarely been discussed or explored until now., An excellent account of the toy industry's interaction with the political movements of the 1960s and 1970s. . . ., A completely interesting look at the civil rights movements of the 60s and 70s through the lens of the toy industry. . . . Complete with photos of various toys, posters, ads, and other images, many from Goldberg's own collection, this book expertly covers the era in history when toys became so much more than simple playthings. . . . Anyone interested in the civil rights era of history would find great interest in this book: it's a complete and total deep dive into one of the most interesting periods of American history, with such a unique perspective, too., Goldberg's book describes how toys became political during the sixties and seventies--from Lionel Corporation's toy trains' embrace of anti-violence rhetoric to wooden figurines that allowed children to assemble families more complex than a husband, wife, and two kids. American culture was convulsed by Vietnam War protests, Title IX disputes, and the Equal Rights Amendment debates, and toys were enlisted in the fights for empowerment and equity by women and people of color.
