Beat Movement in American Society

Abstract

The concept of the US nation and identity underwent a profound, irreversible transformation during the postwar era. The American economy had been severely impacted by the Great Depression in the 1930s, but the Second World War gave it new life. The USA rose to dominance as a global superpower, and Americans dominated the postwar era. achieved a level of independence and affluence for themselves that was unprecedented. The widely accepted beliefs of Freudian psychology emphasized each person's mental origin and importance, which also reflected the societal effects of World War Two. Second, in the years following World War II, gender concerns played a large social role in American society. Contributing significantly to the evolving notion of identity the Beat Generation is one of the most significant results of the history of literature and literary movements during the post-war era. Thirdly, this time period would be the birthplace of a brand-new movement in American literature, one that went against the conventions of composition and coincided with the publication of Jack Kerouac's On the Road in 1957. The Beat Generation Literary Movement members worked tirelessly to expand the horizons of contemporary writing. At the core of our comprehension of the linguistic feature that the Beat Generation Literary Movement had created is the expression "to be on your own."
