David Chalmers' widely acclaimed overview of the 1960s describes
how the civil rights movement touched off a growing challenge to
traditional values and arrangements. Chalmers recounts the judicial
revolution that set national standards for race, politics,
policing, and privacy. He examines the long, losing war on poverty
and the struggle between the media and the government over the war
in Vietnam. He follows feminism's "second wave" and the emergence
of the environmental, consumer, and citizen action movements. He
also explores the worlds of rock, sex, and drugs, and the entwining
of the youth culture, the counterculture, and the American
marketplace. This newly revised edition covers the conservative
counter-revolution and cultural wars. It carries the legacy of the
1960s forward: from Tom Hayden's idealistic 1962 Port Huron
Statement through Newt Gingrich's 1994 "Contract with America" and
Grover Norquist's twenty-first century "Tax Payer's Protection
Pledge."
