America Dreaming: How Youth Changed America in the Sixties

165 pp. | Little | November, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-316-00904-1 $19.99
(4) YA This ambitious book begins with background information about the 1950s, arguing that 1960s counterculture arose as a reaction to America's economic prosperity and ensuing consumerism. Hill's thesis is sound, but some statements throughout are inflammatory or unsupported. Individual chapters focus on blacks, women, Native Americans, and Mexican Americans. Many photographs, sidebars, and quotations help with browsing but contribute to a busy design. Timeline. Bib., ind.
Reviewer: Elissa Gershowitz
