Publisher Description
Among the most significant subcultures in modern U.S. history, the hippies had a far-reaching impact. Their influence essentially defined the 1960s--hippie antifashion, divergent music, dropout politics and "make love not war" philosophy extended to virtually every corner of the world and remain influential.
The political and cultural institutions that the hippies challenged, or abandoned, mainly prevailed. Yet the nonviolent, egalitarian hippie principles led an era of civic protest that brought an end to the Vietnam War.
Their enduring impact was the creation of a 1960s frame of reference among millions of baby boomers, whose attitudes and aspirations continue to reflect the hip ethos of their youth.

Eye opener about the hippie era
This book was a HUGE eye opener about the counter culture and the era where the hippies reigned and made changes all through America. This book covers the start of the beatnik era and spreads through the end of the era. This gives you insight on their living habits, drugs,sex, communes and even Charles Manson! A great read and I’m glad to have had the pleasure to get ore insight on the flower children and the 1960’s as a whole! THANKS A TON PROFESSOR MORETTA!!!!!!
