Thirty years on, the sixties speak to us in celebration of youth, optimism, protest, an explosion of art, music and popular culture, a drive for liberation and towards feminism, in what seems like a lost paradise. This book is an ambitious Anglo-French collaboration in which, for the first time, photographs and essays from both sides of the Channel are integrated to assess and make vivid the phenomenon of the sixties.
