In Hardhats, Hippies, and Hawks, Penny Lewis challenges this collective memory of class polarization. Through close readings of archival documents, popular culture, and media accounts at the time, she offers a more accurate "counter-memory" of a diverse, cross-class opposition to the war in Southeast Asia that included the labor movement, working-class students, soldiers and veterans, and Black Power, civil rights, and Chicano activists. Lewis investigates why the image of antiwar class division gained such traction at the time and has maintained such a hold on popular memory since. Identifying the primarily middle-class culture of the early antiwar movement, she traces how the class interests of its first organizers were reflected in its subsequent forms. The founding narratives of class-based political behavior, Lewis shows, were amplified in the late 1960's and early 1970's because the working class, in particular, lacked a voice in the public sphere, a problem that only increased in the subsequent period, even as working-class opposition to the war grew. By exposing as false the popular image of conservative workers and liberal elites separated by an unbridgeable gulf, Lewis suggests that shared political attitudes and actions are, in fact, possible between these two groups. 606 $aCollective memory$zUnited States 606 $aMemory$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aPeace movements$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aSocial conflict$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aVietnam War, 1961-1975$xProtest movements$zUnited States 615 0$aCollective memory 615 0$aMemory$xSocial aspects 615 0$aPeace movements$xHistory 615 0$aSocial conflict$xHistory 615 0$aVietnam War, 1961-1975$xProtest movements 676 $a959.704/31 700 $aLewis$b Penny$g(Penny W.)$01670511 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811202103321 996 $aHardhats, hippies, and hawks$94032412 997 $aUNINA
