摘要

总统的遗产是建立起来的，对共和党来说，也许没有人比罗纳德·威尔逊·里根更能从神话、圣徒传记和回忆中受益。众所周知，美国第40任总统经常被人们铭记为度过了一个巨大的经济上升期，恢复了对美国军队的信心，并迎来了冷战的结束——这两位总统共同塑造了一个深受爱戴、甚至富有远见的领导人的形象。然而，回顾20世纪80年代的流行文化，却描绘了一幅截然不同的画面。从里根与媒体的关系，他承认非裔美国人社区斗争的缺点，到他对伊朗门危机近乎毁灭性的处理，20世纪80年代的流行文化有助于提醒我们，里根并不像今天的专家们让我们相信的那样受人爱戴。

Misremembering Reagan: A Decade of Cultural Dissent

Presidential legacies are constructed, and for the Republican Party perhaps no figure has benefitted from mythology, hagiography, and misremembrances than Ronald Wilson Reagan. Popularly, America’s 40th President is frequently remembered as residing over a massive economic upswing, restoring faith in the American military, and ushering in the end of the Cold War—combining to construct an image of a beloved, even visionary leader. Looking back at popular culture from the 1980s, however, paints a very different picture. From Reagan’s relationship with the press, his shortcomings acknowledging struggles in the African American community, to his near-legacy shattering handling of the Iran Contra crisis, 1980s popular culture helps to remind us that Reagan was not so nearly beloved as today’s pundits would have us believe.
