Description:

In both the 1920s and 1960s youth rebelled against the prevailing culture with the creation of a subculture that challenges the values of the dominant culture. The stress and tensions of each period will be examined in this course with an interest in similarities and di_erences. The elements of what is called \youth or counter culture" will be evaluated in terms of any lasting contributions to American life in the twenty-_rst century. Each decade will be studied in the historical context and the new original contributions of the new music, language, interpersonal relations and politics. The role of popular _lm, recording technologies and college life are subjects for investigation. Special attention will center on what prompted the rise of and what curtailed this burst of preoccupation on the young and the future of American life.
