Book Description

0321145623 978-0321145628 November 23, 2003

Part of the “Longman Topics” reader series, The Counterculture Reader provides a fascinating look at American culture in the 60's.

This brief collection of readings presents an engaging and informed overview of the counterculture movement, challenging students to understand “what happened and why.” Brief apparatus helps students read and write more thoughtfully about the idea of counterculture and think critically about its effects on contemporary culture.

“Longman Topics” are brief, attractive readers on a single complex, but compelling, topic. Featuring about 30 full-length selections, these volumes are generally half the size and half the cost of standard composition readers.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Immensely Helpful, Concise Capsule of the Times, June 8, 2005
This review is from: Counterculture Reader, The (A Longman Topics Reader) (Paperback)
Most books are too long and unmanageable for use in undergraduate courses. This reader I've used here in the U.K. for courses in the counterculture. It works very well as a superb overview of the times, and can be enhanced with audio-visuals, longer work, and class discussions. Highly recommended to all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cool Look at Major Countercultural Themes: Very Hip, March 27, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Counterculture Reader, The (A Longman Topics Reader) (Paperback)
I am currently using this in a class on the 1960s and discovered the students loved it! The reading selections are unique and reflect the wide range of bohemia we call the counterculture. Some readers about this era focus on Vietnam and politics, this book is a nice complement, as it really deals with the counterculture. Includes readings about everything from communal living in New Mexico, the Boston Women's Health Collective, the Manson Family, and Iggy Pop and the MC5.
