Description

Peaceniks. Stoners. Tree huggers. Freaks. For many, the hippies of the 1960s and early 1970 were immoral, drug-crazed kids too spoiled to work and too selfish to embrace the American way of life.

But who were these longhaired dissenters bent on peace, love and equality?

What did they believe? What did they want? Are their values still relevant today? Bringing together the personal accounts and perspectives of 54 "old hippies", this book illustrates how their lives and outlooks have changed over the past five decades.

Their collective narrative invites readers to reach their own conclusions about the often misunderstood movement of ordinary young people who faced an era of escalating war, civil turmoil and political assassinations with faith in humanity and a belief in the power of ideas.
