Description
Fourteen essays examine the many elements of the American counterculture of the 1960s and 1970s, with its underlying theme of the rejection by mainly young but also older people of prevailing political, social, and cultural norms through experimentation with drugs, sex, music, and identity, to construct alternative ways of life. The essays, written by academics and journalists, are arranged into sections covering cultural politics, racial and sexual identity, the media and popular culture, the deconditioning of the human mind through drugs and feminist consciousness-raising, and alternative visions of society based on technology and communal living.
