Sixties Britain

En savoir plus sur le livre

The book delves into the complexities of Britain in the 1960s, challenging the polarized views of the decade as either a 'golden age' or a source of modern social issues. It examines diverse aspects like pop culture, politics, feminism, and foreign policy, revealing that the significant changes were not as commonly understood. Key developments include the rise of a consumer economy, shifting views on individual rights, the impact of immigration, and Britain's transition from Empire to Europe. Mark Donnelly, a history lecturer, enriches the discussion with his expertise.
