"...a historically sound survey of US counterculture of the 1960s
and 1970s. All 13 new essays... are of unusually uniform quality
and together offer a genuinely helpful, if not entirely
satisfactory, overview...Strongly recommended for all academic
collections." -- CHOICE, November 2002
"...a landmark study." -- Theodore Roszak, San
FranciscoChronicle
"...the essays do a fine job of showing the ways in which women,
blacks, American Indians and gays lived out the full implications
of challenging the subliminal assumptions of mainstream culture."
-- Theodore Roszak, San Francisco Chronicle
" Imagine Nation is an important corrective to the now-fashionable
view that the counterculture represented little more than the
further commodification of American society. This provocative
collection helps to reveal theture centrality of subcultures in
American history since the the 1950s." -- Alice Echols, Author of
ShakyGround: Thests. Sixties and Its Aftershocks.
"How thrilling to see the maelstrom of the Sixties subjectedd to
trenchant analysis and its various ideologies andous expressions
compared and contrasted. Thesetrasted. These scholar-detectives are
so sensitive to the mind of the times that I suspect many saw
action on the same streets I and my friends did. I think they got
it right." -- Peter Coyote,the Actor and Writer, Author of Sleeping
Where I Fall.
"Imagine Nation is a much-needed antidote to the commodification of
the '60s and '70s. Today's twenty-something politicos are quick to
embrace the era's iconic images, long hair and mini skirts, Afros
and peace signs, but not their deeper historical meanings. The
essays here give us the meaning, the stories, the politics behind
the culture, and offer insights into creating new countercultures
for our time and place." -- Robin D.G. Kelley, Author of Yo' Mama's
Disfunktional!
"Imagine Nation is a juicy evocation of the Sixties, a decade that
can never be recovered, only imagined-and this book imagines well."

"A dozen or so brainiacs have produced Imagine Nation: TheAmerican
Counterculture of the 1960s & '70s (Routledge), edited by Peter
Braunstein and Michael William Doyle. It methodically repudiates
the lame canards that the social and political movements of the
'60s were undemocratic or merely self-indulgent. Quite the
opposite; they were animated by justice and communitarianism, and a
direct response to everything from segregation and Vietnam to
conformity and artlessness." -- High Times, Michael Simmons
"Braunstein (journalist and independent scholar) and Doyle (Ball
State Univ.) offer a historically sound survey of US counterculture
of the 1960s and 1970s...Many of the chapters are likely to become
assigned reading in courses on cultural history. Strongly
recommended for all academic collections." -- K. Toloyan, Wesleyan
University, for CHOICE
