Reviews
"This is a nice, balanced presentation of a confusion of often contradictory movements which characterized the decade of the 1960s. In any consideration of a time period it is always difficult to measure individual movements as a part of that time. Anderson does an excellent job in thisregard, stressing not only movements, but interrelationships. The bibliography is most useful. All in all, this book should find wide readership and classroom use."--Gerald Schnabel, Bemidji State University, "Should be the standard for years to come."--Kirkus Reviews "A marvelous tour de force."--Mary King, author ofFreedom Song "Anderson has done the nearly impossible, giving us historical and intellectual synthesis."--The Seattle Times, "Terry Anderson has written the best book yet on the broad protestmovement that dominated American life in the 1960s. Unlike earlier writers, whofocus on elites or just one group, he offers a kaleidoscopic view that stressesthe grass-roots involvement of American youth as they challenged both thepolitics and the values of their elders in a frontal assault on the establishedCold War culture. It is a tour de force."--Robert A. Divine, George W.Littlefield Professor in American History, University of Texas at Austin, "Very exciting, fast-paced, well-written, broadly cast text. I believe this text will interest and keep the attention of readers who perhaps were not yet born during its time frame."--Robin Lorentzen, Albertson College, "Eminently readable, fine presentation of its announced subject, 'the Movement.'"--J.M. Bordelon, Houston Baptist University, "A splendid study, exhaustively researched and engagingly written, and a useful--indeed essential--corrective to the new conventional wisdom about a tumultuous era."--George C. Herring, University of Kentucky, "Anderson has written a sympathetic, broadly descriptive 'movement' history."--The Journal of American History, "For those already tested in the political fires of the '60s, [Anderson's]book is a reminder to keep alert and stay active. For a younger generation, heprovides a concise and closely packed history that precedes the roil and boil oftoday's political activity."--The Seattle Times, "To study the Sixties, this is the place to begin. Anderson has created square 1."--James Hijiya, University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth, "A disturbing tale, well told in exhaustive detail....It is the merit ofTerry Anderson's book that it captures the tone, as well as the events, of adecade in which America finally emerged from cold-war simplicities and began thepainful discovery of itself."--The Economist, "Excellent synthesis of a very complex two decades. Anderson covers all dimensions of this rapidly shifting series of forces and counter-forces in a fair and vivid manner."--Dan O'Bryan, Sierra Nevada College, "Terry Anderson has written the best book yet on the broad protest movement that dominated American life in the 1960s. Unlike earlier writers, who focus on elites or just one group, he offers a kaleidoscopic view that stresses the grass-roots involvement of American youth as they challengedboth the politics and the values of their elders in a frontal assault on the established Cold War culture. It is a tour de force."--Robert A. Divine, George W. Littlefield Professor in American History, University of Texas at Austin, "A lively account of the turbulence experienced by American society after two decades of Cold War....The Movement and the Sixties is a welcome addition to the literature of the period. Written with both passion and control."--The Historian, "Should be the standard for years to come."--Kirkus Reviews "A marvelous tour de force."--Mary King, author of Freedom Song "Anderson has done the nearly impossible, giving us historical and intellectual synthesis."--The Seattle Times

Synopsis
It began in 1960 with the Greensboro sit-ins. By 1973, when a few Native Americans rebelled at Wounded Knee and the U.S. Army came home from Vietnam, it was over. In between came Freedom Rides, Port Huron, the Mississippi Summer, Berkeley, Selma, Vietnam, the Summer of Love, Black Power, the Chicago Convention, hippies, Brown Power, and Women's Liberation--The Movement--in an era that became known as The Sixties. Why did millions of Americans become activists; why did they take to the streets? These are questions Terry Anderson explores in The Movement and The Sixties, a searching history of the social activism that defined a generation of young Americans and that called into question the very nature of "America." Drawing on interviews, "underground" manuscripts collected at campuses and archives throughout the nation, and many popular accounts, Anderson begins with Greensboro and reveals how one event built upon another and exploded into the kaleidoscope of activism by the early 1970s. Civil rights, student power, and the crusade against the Vietnam War composed the first wave of the movement, and during and after the rip tides of 1968, the movement changed and expanded, flowing into new currents of counterculture, minority empowerment, and women's liberation. The parades of protesters, along with schocking events--from the Kennedy assassination to My Lai--encouraged other citizens to question their nation. Was America racist, imperialist, sexist? Unlike other books on this tumultuous decade, The Movement and The Sixties is neither a personal memoir, nor a treatise on New Left ideology, nor a chronicle of the so-called leaders of the movement. Instead, it is a national history, a compelling and fascinating account of a defining era that remains a significant part of our lives today., It began in 1960 with the Greensboro sit-ins.

Instead, it is a national history, a compelling and fascinating account of a defining era that remains a significant part of our lives today., This is a broad history of the various reform and radical groups of the 1960s who went under the name of the Movement. It demonstrates what profound influence the Movement had upon the period and the reasons why it fragmented and disappeared in the late 1960s and early 1970s. This is the first major interpretative history of this subject.
