Counterculture flourished nationwide in the 1960s and 1970s, and
while the hippies of Haight-Ashbury occupied the public eye,
further off the beaten path in the Arkansas Ozarks a faction of
back to the landers were quietly creating their own counterculture
haven. In Hipbillies, Jared Phillips collects oral histories and
delves into archival resources to provide a fresh scholarly
discussion of this group, which was defined by anticonsumerism and
a desire for self-sufficiency outside of modern industry. While
there were indeed clashes between long haired hippies and
cantankerous locals, Phillips shows how the region has always been
a refuge for those seeking a life off the beaten path, and as such,
is perhaps one of the last bastions for the dream of
self-sufficiency in American life. Hipbillies presents a region
steeped in tradition coming to terms with the modern world.
