Counterculture: The Generational Gap And Reaction To The 1950s, Michelle Desjardins

American Studies Forum

This work focuses on the causes of the 1960s counterculture in relation to the conservative 1950s.

The paper concludes by taking a close look at the ways that counterculture was manifested at Providence College through an examination of two decades of yearbooks, from 1950s-1970s.
