Description
"The 1960s is a decade that has been distorted and maligned, and we need more than a few books--from different points of view--that set the record straight. Diane Purvis lived through the era and her insights are valuable."--Margaret Randall, author of I Never Left Home: Poet, Feminist, Revolutionary "The 1960s remain a critical decade for understanding contemporary America, so hard, honest looks at what was happening then and how it prefigures our current political space are welcome. More than Flower Power charts the influence of that time on adolescents who were watching from a distance yet absorbing the implications of this new order."--Robert Aquinas McNally, author of Cast Out of Eden: The Untold Story of John Muir, Indigenous Peoples, and the American Wilderness
