This book charts the changing complexion of American culture in one
of the most culturally vibrant of twentieth-century decades. It
provides a vivid account of the major cultural forms of 1960s
America - music and performance; film and television; fiction and
poetry; art and photography - as well as influential texts, trends
and figures of the decade: from Norman Mailer to Susan Sontag; from
Muhammad Ali's anti-war protests to Tom Lehrer's stand-up comedy;
from Bob Dylan to Rachel Carson; and from Pop Art to
photojournalism. A chapter on new social movements demonstrates
that a current of conservatism runs through even the most
revolutionary movements of the 1960s and the book as a whole looks
to the West and especially to the South in the making of the
sixties as myth and as history. Key Features: * Focused case
studies featuring key texts, genres, writers, artists and cultural
trends * Detailed chronology of 1960s American culture *
Bibliographies for each chapter * Over 30 black and white
illustrations
