Are the cultural upheavals of the 1960s just a media myth? The
"summer of love", with its ambience of marijuana and sitar music,
the glitterati of swinging London, and student protesters battling
with the police evoke a period of material prosperity, cultural
innovation and youthful rebellion. But how significant were the
radical aspirations and utopian ideals of the sixties? And what is
the legacy of the social, political and cultural transformations
which characterized the decade? In an interdisciplinary collection
of specially commissioned essays, the contributors to "Cultural
Revolution" uncover the complex economic and political contexts in
which these changes took place. Covering a wide variety of art
forms - drama, television, film, poetry, the novel, popular music,
dance, cinema and the visual arts - they investigate how sixties'
culture became politicized, and how its inherent contradictions
still have repercussions for the arts today. Contributors include
John Seed, Bart Moore-Gilbert, Alf Louvre, Stuart Laing, Jane
Lewis, and Martin Priestman. This book should be of interest to
undergraduates studying cultural studies, media and communications,
social sciences and social
