'An excellent book' David Aaronovitch, The Times Was the 1960s
really that great time of liberation, joyful experimentation and
celebration of youth? Growing Up takes an unflinching look at the
dark underbelly of the sexual revolution. No era in recent history
has been both more celebrated and vilified than the 1960s. For some
it was a time when music, fashion and drugs enabled young people to
express their individuality and freedom, their hopes and dreams of
a different, perhaps better, world. For others, the decade marked
the advent of the permissive society, with its undermining of
authority, family values and common decency. At the heart of this
continuing controversy is sex. For this wide-ranging and
eye-opening survey of the sexual landscape of the 1960s Peter
Doggett has assembled a dozen little-known stories that reveal how
the sexual revolution transformed people's lives. Growing Up
provides an honest, often disturbing portrait of a constant battle
between two forces: the urge to free the body from guilt and
restraint; and the desire to control, cannibalise and exploit that
liberation for profit or pleasure. It is a battle that divides
opinion to this day.
