The Sixties (Big Ideas)
The Sixties by Jenny Diski, published by Profile Books Ltd in 2009, explores the radical beliefs that defined the author’s generation. This edition contains 160 pages and is presented in English. The book examines how these beliefs, often perceived as new, were frequently rooted in older ideas, reflecting on the cultural landscape of Great Britain during the 1960s.
Readers will find a thoughtful consideration of whether the author’s peers were genuinely committed to changing the world and how their ideals were influenced by the financial support of the Baby Boomers’ parents. The narrative delves into the essence of youth during this transformative decade, questioning the significance of being young in a time of social upheaval. This edition also includes bibliographical references for further exploration of the subject.
