Rob Goldberg 0.0
In Radical Play, prize-winning historian Rob Goldberg recovers a little-known history of American children’s culture in the 1960s and 1970s by showing how dolls, guns, action figures, and other toys galvanized and symbolized new visions of social, racial, and gender justice. From a nationwide movement to oppose the sale of war toys during the Vietnam War, to the founding of the company Shindana Toys by Black Power movement activists and the efforts of feminist groups to promote and produce nonsexist and racially diverse toys, Goldberg returns readers to a defining moment in the history of childhood when politics, parenting, and purchasing converged.

"An excellent account of the toy industry’s interaction with the political movements of the 1960s and 1970s. . . ."
―Alyssa Rosenberg, Washington Post

"Eminently readable."
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin

"[A] readable and riveting narrative..."
—Choice Reviews

"Goldberg has fashioned an important and enlightening study."
—Howard Chudacoff, author of Children at Play: An American History
