| book description |
This history of the 1960s conveys the ferocity of debate and the testing of visionary hopes that still require us to make sense of the decade. David Burner begins with the civil rights and black power movements and then turns to nuanced descriptions of Kennedy and the Cold War, the counterculture and its antecedents of the Beat Generation, the student rebellion, the poverty wars, and the liberals' war in Vietnam. As he considers each topic, Burner advances an argument about how liberalism self-destructed in the 1960s. In his view, the civil rights movement took a wrong turn as it came to emphasize the ""identity politics"" of race and ethnicity at the expense of the vastly more more important politics of class and distribution of wealth.
