Civil rights, student power, and the crusade against the Vietnam War composed the first wave of the movement, and during and after the rip tides of 1968, the movement changed and expanded, flowing into new currents of counterculture, minority empowerment, and women's liberation.

Produktbeschreibung
Civil rights, student power, and the crusade against the Vietnam War composed the first wave of the movement, and during and after the rip tides of 1968, the movement changed and expanded, flowing into new currents of counterculture, minority empowerment, and women's liberation. The parades of protesters, along with schocking events-from the Kennedy assassination to My Lai-encouraged other citizens to question their nation. Was America racist, imperialist, sexist? Unlike other books on this tumultuous decade, The Movement and The Sixties is neither a personal memoir, nor a treatise on New Left ideology, nor a chronicle of the so-called leaders of the movement. Instead, it is a national history, a compelling and fascinating account of a defining era that remains a significant part of our lives today.
Why did millions of Americans become activists in the 1960s; why did they take to the streets? These are questions Terry Anderson explores in this searching history of the social activism that defined a generation of young Americans and that called into question the very nature of "America". "Anderson does the nearly impossible, giving us historical and intellectual synthesis".--The Seattle Times. 32 halftone illustrations.
