{"product_id":"the-sixties-4","title":"The Sixties","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn The Sixties, Terry Anderson tackles the question of why American experienced a full decade of tumult \u0026amp; change, whose reverberations \u0026amp; consequences are still being felt in America today. Always appreciated for its brevity, wit \u0026amp; captivating style, The Sixties enters its 3rd edition with expanded coverage of the most interesting \u0026amp; important events, people \u0026amp; movements of the Sixties. \"Anderson defines the 1960s' movement as a loose, ever-shifting coalition of social activists including civil rights \u0026amp; Vietnam War protesters, feminists, students, ecologists \u0026amp; hippies. In his analysis, the movement was generally leaderless \u0026amp; 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 \u0026amp; progressive era \u0026amp; 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 \u0026amp; educational reform, sped the passage of civil rights legislation, revolutionized the status of women \u0026amp; influenced mainstream politics, which coopted many of its ideas about citizen \u0026amp; community empowerment. Professor of history at Texas A\u0026amp;M University, Anderson draws heavily on interviews, underground newspapers, leaflets \u0026amp; participants' memoirs to create a vivid newsreel. His sweeping study is a valuable, refreshingly unbiased reassessment of the '60s legacy.\"--Publishers Weekly\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unknown Binding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e n\/a\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780764920424\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":null,"offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £15.98","offer_id":47914214195377,"sku":"SB-0764920421-C3","price":15.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-sixties-4","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
