Sixties Britain: Culture, Society and Politics

By Mark P. Donnelly, Mark Donnelly, Mark P. Donnelly

Book Overview

Sixties Britain analyses the main social, political, cultural and economic changes Britain underwent in the Sixties; examining pop, politics, postmodernism, fashion, feminism, foreign policy and much else besides, to show why it was a time of such dramatic change, and not for the reasons most usually cited.

Steering away from the ideologically charged accounts of Britainduring this time, Donnelly neither romanticises nor demonises this most controversial of decades. He revisits assumptions about the 1960's and presents a nuanced and engaging history of Britain.

Suitable for use on undergraduate courses on sixties and twentieth-century Britain.
