Abstract

In the 1960s, a number of activist movements in the United States played a significant role in reshaping public attitudes. This encyclopedia describes the movements, events, people, and ideas that have contributed to social change from the 1960s to the present, encompassing movements across the political spectrum.The volume's A-to-Z entries, many of them illustrated, include such topics as the Anti-Abortion Movement, Black Panther Party, Christian Identity Movement, and Yippies, the March on the Pentagon and Earth Day, Ralph Nader, Gloria Steinem, Jane Fonda, and Che Guevara; consciousness raising, communes and collectives, and terrorism. This work's usefulness is enhanced by end-of-entry references, extensive cross-references, a comprehensive bibliography, and a thorough index.
