About this product

Product Information

The counterculture of the 1960s and 1970s remains a highly controversial and divisive topic in our society; virtually the only thing that anyone can agree on is its enormous impact on American life. Critics on the right complain of the shattering of cherished social norms, while those on the left take many movements to task for not going far enough and selling out. Amidst the recent flourishing of 1960s scholarship, this volume focuses solely on the counterculture. Its 14 provocative essays seek to unearth the complexity and rediscover the society-changing power of significant movements and figures. The topics covered include feminism, psychedelic drug experimentation, guerrilla theatre, the New Left, Jimi Hendrix, communal living, underground comics, and avant-garde film. As a whole, the book offers new interpretations of how the counterculture of the 1960s and 1970s irrevocably changed American society.
