Millions of people were involved in or influenced by the protest
and social change movements of the 1960s. Today, they are moms,
dads, even grandparents. They are teachers, architects, artists,
entrepreneurs. Having intimations of mortality, they are searching
for their identities what formed them, and why they have become who
they are.Based on recent interviews, this unique sixties book
brings together the voices of the Left leaders who spawned the
sixties movements. Many remain activists today, and experience and
the passage of time allow them to transcend nostalgia to form more
realistic perspectives on past, present, and future. They discuss
the civil rights and antiwar movements, the political outcome of
the sixties, patriotism, terror, and the role of young people in
the future. Important gains were made during the sixties, but there
were many setbacks, too, that influence today s voters, leaders,
candidates, and our day-to-day realities. The sixties of this book
are not simply a sweet memory of marijuana and album rock; there
were many casualties, including innocence and youthful idealism.
Agger concludes with reflections on the possibilities of a next
Left, which was already faintly visible in young people s massive
support of Obama s presidential candidacy. "
