The Sixties: Cultural Revolution in Britain, France, Italy, and the United States, C.1958-C.1974

Arthur Marwick

4.9/5 (24326 ratings)

Description:If World Wars defined the 1st half of the 20th century, the 60s defined the 2nd, providing the pivot on which modern times have turned. From popular music to individual liberties, the tastes & convictions of the Western world are indelibly stamped with the impact of that tumultuous decade. Now one of the world's foremost historians provides a look at this momentous time. Framing the 60s as a period stretching from '58 to '74, Marwick argues that this long decade ushered in nothing less than a cultural revolution--one that raged most clearly in the USA, UK, France & Italy. Writing with wit & verve, he recaptures the events & movements that shaped lives: the rise of a western youth subculture; the impact of post Beat novels & New Wave cinema; the civil rights movement; Britain's surprising rise to leadership in fashion & music; the emerging storm over Vietnam; the Paris student rising of '68; the new concern for poverty; the growing force of feminism & the gay rights movement etc. As he unfolds his narrative, he illuminates the era, both its origins & its impact. He concludes it was a time that saw great leaps forward in the arts, in civil rights & in other areas of society & politics. But the decade also left deep divisions still felt today. Written with insight & narrative power, The Sixties is an important account of the most important decade of our times.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
