Product Description
In The Sixties, Terry Anderson tackles the question of why American experienced a full decade of tumult & change, whose reverberations & consequences are still being felt in America today.
Always appreciated for its brevity, wit & captivating style, The Sixties enters its 3rd edition with expanded coverage of the most interesting & important events, people & movements of the Sixties.
"Anderson defines the 1960s' movement as a loose, ever-shifting coalition of social activists including civil rights & Vietnam War protesters, feminists, students, ecologists & hippies. In his analysis, the movement was generally leaderless & was not defined by new-left philosophy; rather, its members were motivated by the old-fashioned American pragmatism that drove protesters during other reform eras--the Revolution, Jacksonian democracy, the populist & progressive era & the New Deal. Far from being a failure, as critics contend, the movement, in Anderson's estimate, cracked a rigid Cold War culture, forced campus & educational reform, sped the passage of civil rights legislation, revolutionized the status of women & influenced mainstream politics, which coopted many of its ideas about citizen & community empowerment. Professor of history at Texas A&M University, Anderson draws heavily on interviews, underground newspapers, leaflets & participants' memoirs to create a vivid newsreel. His sweeping study is a valuable, refreshingly unbiased reassessment of the '60s legacy."
