The Hippie Ghetto,
This review is from: The Hippie Ghetto: The Natural History of a Subculture (Paperback)
This case study is an objective analysis by as anthropologist of the subculture of a hippie ghetto. William Partridge spent over a year as a participant-observer in the ghetto. He returned to recheck his earlier observations.Partridge chooses not to regard the hippie ghetto group as a counter-culture, as others have (Roszak 1968), since, he writes, it is in reality "a part of a product of American society." Partridge believes, as does Anthony Wallace (1969), that the core hippie values are drawn from the cultural heritage of Western civilization and Judeo-Christian mythology. He draws as analogy between the Christian and Western mythology journeying to Mount Zion and the idealized personality of the hippie ghetto - a heroic individual (usually an "elder") buffeted by the caprices of ignorant 'straights' but true to his inner, personal values." --- excerpt fronm book's Foreword
