Course Description:
This seminar considers the 1960s through an examination of the decade's music, literature, film, and politics. We will discuss each year of the decade and explore, among other topics, the war in Vietnam, the Civil Rights Movement, the social revolution of the counterculture, and the transformation from colonialism to independence of much of Africa. The decade's extraordinary diversity of literature and arts will take center stage in our discussions, as we listen to, read, and view iconic works, including the music of Motown, the British invasion, and Woodstock; A Clockwork Orange, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Why We Can't Wait; and films Lawrence of Arabia, Dr. Strangelove, and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. |
