    The Great Funk  .... Hine puts it all togther
  

*by F***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 6, 2007*

What Hine did for the 50's in Populuxe, he's now done for the 70's. I lived thorugh the 70's 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 70's,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 don't ask if they ever went to Plato's Retreat. I couldn't 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.

    The Great Funk gets it
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 30, 2008*

Finally, 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 decade's fashion choices.  Hine's 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 we've been stuck with for the past thirty years.
