Summary

The sixties was a time when the boundaries between the political and the aesthetic were deliberately blurred and, according to some critics, the time when the possibility for grand social transformation died. Stephens questions the frameworks that inform commonplace understandings of this period, arguing that the most distinctive forms of sixties protest are often marginalized or excluded from view. She looks at the problematic contemporary and retrospective accounts of sixties radicalism, and traces the modernist and postmodern impulses that can be discerned in the anti-disciplinary protest of the time. Stephens develops a new theoretical framework for conceptualizing the relationship between the sixties and later political and theoretical developments
