The sixties were arguably the most influential decade of the twentieth century. They were a time of great social upheaval and revolutionary ideas characterized by dramatic events such as the struggle for civil rights and the Vietnam War. The "Swinging Sixties" signified the rejection of conservative values and the search for individual fulfilment for young people in particular, as they tuned in and dropped out, burnt their draft cards, celebrated the summer of love in San Francisco and experienced Woodstock. In this course we will look at the sixties in the context of the twentieth century, but also examine the main political and cultural events of the decade in order to understand this tumultuous period better. |
