While this omnibus is diverse in terms of gender, race, sexuality, and ethnicity, it lacks one critical voice that would help contextualize all the other voices—the conservative one. It is a failing of most collections that seek to encapsulate this decade. These folks were pushing back against someone, and it would be valuable to hear the opposition. ( )
This book is filled from front to back in all 628 of its pages with hate, prejudice, despair, disgust, delusion, sickness, love, happiness, faith, civility, truth, and humanity; in short, it is a wonderful compendium of writings from (and sometimes about) the 1960s in America and the experience of that turbulent decade did to the American mass consciousness. I wasn't there for the 60s, but I think that this book does a very good job of capturing the spirit of times as best as it can be captured. The only objection I might raise is that Charters is rather biased in her selections; I would have liked to have heard equally from the apparently conservative majority of Americans who voted Nixon into office as much as from the radical Left who opposed him; I would have liked to have read something in support of the Vietnam War and against Civil Rights just as much as the many writings which argue vociferously from the opposite position. It would have made for a more balanced read, I believe. ( )

Art is an expression of man's desire for life. In and with the work of art, the artist creates an atmosphere for himself, a world, in which he can live according to his secret needs, in which he can experience such sensations as his senses desire, and such emotions as his soul craves.
—Richard Bergh, Om Konst och Annat Stockholm, 1908
