Revisiting the Sixties

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on America's Longest Decade

About this book

Kubakrise und Vietnamkrieg, Bßrgerrechtsbewegung und "Great Society", Woodstock und Mondlandung - die "Sixties" zählen in der Geschichte der USA zu den ereignisreichsten Jahrzehnten ßberhaupt. Wie aber kam es zu den politischen, sozialen und kulturellen Umwälzungen dieser Dekade und welche Konflikte sind noch heute virulent? Drßcken sie dem "American Way of Life" des 21. Jahrhunderts immer noch ihren Stempel auf? Die Autorinnen und Autoren spßren diesen Fragen nach - genau 50 Jahre, nachdem John F. Kennedy 1963 den Schßssen von Dallas zum Opfer fiel.
