Uhoa ja unelmia: 60-luvun jälkijäristyksiä
Alice Echols pohtii viime aikojen suuria kansanliikkeitä sekä hippi- ja populaarikulttuuria. Mm. Joni Mitchell, Malcolm X, Jimi Hendrix, seksuaalinen vallankumous ja uusvasemmistolaisuus ovat niitä historian sysäyksiä, jotka aiheuttavat värähdyksiä yhä 2000-luvullakin.

Alice Echols is one of the best historians of the 1960s and this collection of essays is definitely worth the read. For those who know Echols' other books, there's not a lot new, but if you don't have her on your radar, this is a pretty good place to start. The piece on the Summer of Love is a gem.

Paljon akateemisempi kuin oletin. Parasta antia oli eri muusikkojen haastattelut kirjan viimeisessä osassa.

Alice Echols wrote an outstanding book about Janis Joplin and rock ‘n roll that is one of my very favorite books. As a result, this series of essays and articles she authored called to me.
When the women’s lib movement hatched, Echols was there participating, observing and chronicling.
She believes that historians have inaccurately characterized what happened and downplayed the movement’s significance.
I wish the writing here had more pizzazz. It’s as exciting as a textbook read by a college professor at 8:00 am.

This was a decent collection of essays, even if a little over-steeped in academia-speak, and not all are about the 1960s. the best essay was the first, which revealed some interesting facts about the 1960s counterculture.

September 7, 2012Echols' scholarly essays on feminism, the hippie era, disco and more. Fun to compare her popular writing (the Janis Joplin bio) with her academic writing. The academic work isn't too obtuse or off-putting.
