Review
"Braunstein (journalist and independent scholar) and Doyle (Ball State Univ.) offer a historically sound survey of US counterculture of the 1960s and 1970s...Many of the chapters are likely to become assigned reading in courses on cultural history. Strongly recommended for all academic collections.."
-K. Toloyan, Wesleyan University, for "CHOICE
..."a landmark study."
-Theodore Roszak, "San Francisco Chronicle, December 23, 2001
..."the essays do a fine job of showing the ways in which women, blacks, American Indians and gays lived out the full implications of challenging the subliminal assumptions of mainstream culture."
-Theodore Roszak, "San Francisco Chronicle, December 23, 2001
"" Imagine Nation is an important corrective to the now-fashionable view that the counterculture represented little more than the further commodification of American society. This provocative collection helps to reveal the centrality of subcultures in American history since the the 1950s."
- Alice Echols, Author of "Shaky Ground: The Sixties and Its Aftershocks.
"How thrilling to see the maelstrom of the Sixties subjected to trenchant analysis and its various ideologies and expressions compared and contrasted. These scholar-detectives are so sensitive to the mind of the times that I suspect many saw action on the same streets I and my friends did. I think they got it right.."
-Peter Coyote, Actor and Writer, Author of" Sleeping Where I Fall.
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.
