Imagine Nation - The American Counterculture of the 1960's and 70's (Hardcover)

The counterculture of the 1960s and 1970s remains a highly controversial and divisive topic in our society; virtually the only thing that anyone can agree on is its enormous 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.
Amidst the recent flourishing of Sixties scholarship, Imagine Nation is the first collection to focus solely on the counterculture. Its fourteen provocative essays seek to unearth the complexity and rediscover the society-changing power of significant movements and figures. The fascinating constellation of topics covered include feminism, psychedelic drug experimentation, guerrilla theatre, the New Left, Jimi Hendrix, communal living, underground comics, and avant-garde film. As a whole, Imagine Nation offers exciting new interpretations of how the counterculture of the 1960s and 1970s irrevocably changed American society.
