CEHI 0915 - Sex, Drugs, and Rock ‘n’ Roll?: Understanding the 1960s

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

The 1960s was a watershed decade in modern American history. The United States that emerged in its aftermath was very different from the United States that existed before it. The common image of the 1960s is filled with hippies, sex, drugs, music, and protest. But what really happened during the 1960s? What changed, and what caused these changes? This course addresses these and related questions by closely examining the political, social, and cultural struggles that occurred in the United States between the mid-1950s and mid-1970s. Examining the 1960s allows us a deeper understanding of postwar American history, revealing the roots of many contemporary issues and conflicts.
