In the introduction, the editors explore the show's popularity; its controversial representations of race, class, and gender; its powerful influence on aesthetics and style; and its unique use of period historicism and advertising as a way of speaking to our neoliberal moment. "Mad Men, Mad World" also includes an interview with Phil Abraham, an award-winning "Mad Men" director and cinematographer. Taken together, the essays demonstrate that understanding "Mad Men" means engaging the show not only as a reflection of the 1960s but also as a commentary on the present day.
"Contributors." Michael Berube, Alexander Doty, Lauren M. E. Goodlad, Jim Hansen, Dianne Harris, Lynne Joyrich, Lilya Kaganovsky, Clarence Lang, Caroline Levine, Kent Ono, Dana Polan, Leslie Reagan, Mabel Rosenheck, Robert A. Rushing, Irene Small, Michael Szalay, Jeremy Varon
