TARGET: SEC: Literature that depicts a decade in America

[Diane Freeman <dfreeman@JEFFCO.K12.CO.US>]

I have a couple of English teachers asking me for help finding
literature by *setting* and I am hoping some of you can help.  The
project they're working on involves students reading a novel, a play,
and poetry that all illustrate/epitomize/depict the life/culture of a
particular decade in American history, like _Great Gatsby_ for the 20s
or _Grapes of Wrath_ for the 30s.  Help!  We're having lots of trouble
with drama for the 70s and 80s (too much sex and raw language for a
class assignment, on the whole), but would welcome suggestions for any
decade, any genre.  I will post a hit.  Would love references to any
lists you are aware of that are arranged by *setting* rather than date
of publication.
Thanks in advance for your ever-wonderful help.
Diane
