Reviews

The Bad Sixties is a timely and important intervention into the contemporary literature about the representational politics of social movement politics and counterculture in the Long Sixties. Hoerl provides a lively and entertaining discussion of the sixties after they ended and a smart and engaging assessment of their circulation in the eighties as neoconservative culture undermined the representational power of their political edge.--Lisa M. Corrigan, author of Prison Power: How Prison Influenced the Movement for Black Liberation
