About
Echols upends many of our bedrock assumptions about American culture since the 1950s, particularly the notion that the '60s represented a total rupture and that the '70s marked the end of meaningful change. In far-ranging essays on hippies, gay/lesbian and women's liberation, disco and the racial politics of music, and musicians as diverse as Joni Mitchell and Lenny Kravitz, this maverick thinker maps an alternative history of American culture from the '50s through the '90s.
