Freedom to offend : how New York remade movie culture
Haberski, Raymond J., 1968-Lexington, Ky. : University Press of Kentucky, c2007.In the postwar era, producers and consumers of cinema began to demand more freedom to make and view movies that accurately portrayed the complexities of real life. In ""Freedom to Offend"", Raymond J. Haberski Jr. details the battles, fought largely in New York City, to secure ""freedom of the screen"" for film audiences. In the libertine 1970s, arguments supporting the right to see challenging films were twisted to provide intellectual cover for movies created solely to lure viewers with outrageous or titillating material. Haberski exposes the unquestioning defense of free expression as an absolutist approach that mirrors the censorial impulse found among the postwar era's restrictive moral guardians.

God and war : American civil religion since 1945
Haberski, Raymond J., 1968-New Brunswick, N.J. : Rutgers University Press, ©2012.Raymond Haberski argues that since 1945 the common moral assumptions expressed in an American civil religion have become increasingly defined by the nation's experience with war. God and War traces how three great postwar "trials"--The Cold War, the Vietnam War, and the War on Terror--have revealed the promise and terror of an American civil religion. With the tenth anniversary of 9/11 behind us and the subsequent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan winding down, Americans might now explore whether civil religion can exist apart from the power of war to affirm the value of the nation to it.
