New Left, New Right, and the Legacy of the Sixties cover

Examines two equally important movements of the early sixties, the New Left and the New Right, both sides equally critical of existing society and both utopian in their visions. This book describes the ways in which the historical reality of the sixties has been dramatically distorted by popular political and social images.A controversial reworking of the sixties and its ongoing impact on American politics and culture

"Paul Lyons is one of the most sensible writers dealing with that most unsensible of subjects: the legacy of the Sixties. Ethnographically acute, politically balanced, eloquently engaged, Lyons gets at the complexities of generational conflict in ways discomforting to ideologies of the Left and the Right. New Left, New Right, and the Legacy of the Sixties ought to be a book for the Nineties." --Alan Wolfe, Boston University
