Description
Book SynopsisFocusing on the major movements and personalities of the time, as well as the lasting influence of the period, Canada's 1960s examines the legacy of this rebellious decade's impact on contemporary notions of Canadian identity.
Trade Review'The book is a prestigious example of scholarship, wonderfully documented...I could not put it down...most highly recommended for students, faculty, and the general interest reader.' -- Patrice LeClerc, Journal of Socialist Studies, vol 6:01:10 'Palmer provides a fascinating analysis of a key but little examined decade... It is both provocative and insightful...And it most certainly will prompt much new research on a period that fundamentally re-shaped Canadian identity and lives.' -- Catherine Gidney, History of Intellectual Culture, vol8:01:08-09 If Palmer's exhaustive research and clever analysis provide the body of Canada's 1960 in this book, his style provides the soul. Rare is the academic book in which the cadences and staging of the narrative are as much a part of the argument as is the case with this study. -- P.E Bryden, American Historical Review, October 2010
