American Culture in the 1960s (Twentieth-Century American Culture (Paperback))

Эта книга повествует о главных культурных событиях Америки 1960-х – в области литературы, мызыки и театра, кино и телевидения, живописи и фотографии, когда теоретически чернокожее население имело равные права с белыми, но в действительности Америка все еще практиковала Апартеид, а на юге сегрегация была законом. Читатель узнает также об основных тенденциях и фигурах, определявших облик десятилетия - от Движения за гражданские права до Джорджа Уоллеса и Барри Голдуотера, от выступлений Джона Ф. Кеннеди до комедианта Дика Грегори, от музыканта Боба Дилана до поэтессы Сильвии Платт, от «Бонни и Клайда» до «Космической Одиссеи 2001» и от поп-арта до демонстраций против Вьетнамской войны. Вместе с тем, в главе о новых социальных движениях показывается, что влияние консерватизма было ощутимо даже в наиболее революционных движениях 1960-ых.
