Street of Dreams: The Nature and Legacy of the 1960s

By Douglas M. Knight

Book Overview

The 1960s are well documented but not well understood; the rhetoric of and reaction to the decade continues to trouble American public discourse. This work by Douglas Knight, who served as president of Duke University from 1963 to 1969 during clashes on that campus, is not only an honest account of one institution's experience, but draws parallels to the situations on other campuses and seeks to comprehend the time and its enduring influence.
