America In The Sixties: An Intellectual History
Condition remarks:
Book: Good
Jacket: Worn/faded, no tears
Pages: Good
Markings: No markings
A rigorous work of intellectual history, America in the Sixties presents a sweeping analysis of the ideological currents, cultural upheavals, and philosophical tensions that defined one of the most turbulent decades in American life. Ronald Berman argues that the 1960s were not merely a period of social protest and political change, but a profound transformation in the way Americans thought about identity, authority, and the role of ideas in public life. With a measured yet incisive tone, the work chronicles the rise of countercultural movements, the fracturing of liberal consensus, and the intellectual figures who both shaped and were shaped by the era's seismic shifts. Berman illustrates how universities, literature, and political discourse became battlegrounds for competing visions of American society, drawing connections between academic thought and the broader cultural revolution unfolding in the streets. Scholarly yet accessible, this is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand how the ideas of the sixties continue to reverberate through American culture and politics today.
