4.9/5 (32164 ratings)

Description:The 1960s is one of the most heavily mythologised decades of the twentieth century. More than 50 years on, the era continues to capture the publics imagination. The 1960s in Australia: Power, People and Politics recognises the complexity of social and cultural change by presenting a broad range of contributions that acknowledge an often overlooked fact that not everyone experienced the 1960s in the same way. The diversity of the time is confirmed by the contributions from a number of expert Australian historians who each provide an insight into Australia in the 1960s, offering an understanding of the social realities of this period as well as the ebbs and flows of transnational influence. Contributors focus instead on the less-considered aspects of the era.This collection includes a featured contribution, by prominent Australian historian, Raymond Evans, who provides a personal insight into the 1960s. Other contributors also place the lived experience at the centre of their analysis by considering the growth of modern flats; the impact of cosmopolitanism; and sex and sexuality in the Sixties. The book also highlights the way power was deployed and deconstructed during this era by considering the psychiatric profession; the agenda of the counter-culture; and the role that women's magazines played in reinforcing dominant gender paradigms. The complex politics of the era are also explored through the transnational impact of figures such as Anthony Crosland; the impact of the Vietnam War; and the multiplicity of motivations behind the anti-war protest and the Aboriginal rights movement of the era. The 1960s in Australia: Power, People and Politics is a fresh focus on a significant time in Australias history. It brings together a collection of innovative and engaging explorations into the Australian Sixties, which underline the complexity of the time and reveal more about Australian society.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
