ABC Listen: Being a bloke in the 1950s
The 1950s rather than being flat, stifling and oppressive was a period when culture and ideas about work, identity and masculinity were highly contested. Chelsea Barnett, a cultural historian, has closely examined how masculinity was portrayed in popular Australian films and in her new book Reel Men she asks us to rethink our attitude to that much maligned decade.
