Product Description
Product Description
The counterculture of the 1960s and 1970s remains a highly controversial and divisive topic. In assessing its 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. "Imagine Nation" is a collection of essays, focusing solely on the counterculture, which seeks 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.
From the Back Cover
The counterculture of the 1960s and '70s remains a highly controversial topic in American society; virtually the only thing that can be agreed upon 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 Sixties scholarship, Imagine Nation is the first collection of essays to focus solely on the counterculture. Its fourteen provocative essays seek to unearth the complexity and rediscover the society-changing power of significant movements and figures. The fascinating constellation of topics covered include feminism, psychedelic drug experimentation, guerilla theatre, the New Left, Jimi Hendrix, communal living, underground comics, and avant-garde film. As a whole, Imagine Nation offers exciting new interpretations of how the counterculture of the 1960s and '70s irrevocably altered American society.
