Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

This is a splendid survey of the three-cornered conflict that still shapes American politics and culture. It should be required reading in classrooms around the nation. -- Michael Kazin, co-author of America Divided: The Civil War of the 1960s This is, in fact, an excellent tool for the undergraduate classroom. . . . The two essays are useful and clear. And the documents are important to the discussion of the period. * The Historian * Michael Flamm and David Steigerwald, two of the best historians of the Sixties era, have created a smart, provocative book that is perfect for the classroom. Combining state-of-the-art overviews with a rich selection of documents, Debating the 1960s pushes past the standard narrative of the 1960s and asks students to analyze the contesting forces of radicalism, liberalism and conservatism during that turbulent period. -- David Farber, author of The Age of Great Dreams: America in the 1960s

Reseña del editor:

Debating the 1960s explores the decade through the controversies between radicals, liberals, and conservatives. The focus is on four main areas of contention: social welfare, civil rights, foreign relations, and social order. The book also examines the emergence of the New Left and the modern conservative movement. Combining analytical essays and historical documents, the book highlights the polarization of the era and assesses the enduring importance of the 1960s on contemporary American politics and society.
