• Sommario/riassunto: 'Counterculture' emerged as a term in the late 1960's and has been re-deployed in more recent decades in relation to other forms of cultural and socio-political phenomena. This volume provides an essential new academic scrutiny of the concept of 'counterculture' and a critical examination of the period and its heritage.
