Description
?Counterculture? emerged as a term in the late 1960s and has been re-deployed in more recent decades in relation to other forms of cultural and socio-political phenomena. This volume provides an essential new academic scrutiny of the concept of ?counterculture? and a critical examination of the period and its heritage.
