Download Gates of Eden: American Culture in the Sixties AudioBook Free
Widely admired as the definitive social record of the 1960s, this groundbreaking work finally reappears in a new edition. The turbulent 1960s, almost from its outset, produced a dizzying display of social images and ideas which were as colourful as the psychedelic T-shirts that became part of its iconography. It had been not, however, until Morris Dickstein's landmark Gates of Eden, first shared in 1977, that people could know the impact of this raucous 10 years in American record as a momentous social epoch in its right, approximately Jazz Get older America or Weimar Germany. From Ginsberg and Dylan to Vonnegut and Heller, this enduring work brilliantly re-creates not only the intellectual and politics ferment of the 10 years but also its disillusionment. What results is an inestimable contribution to your knowledge of 20th-century American culture. Cover photo: Fred W.
