Were the 60s Radical?

You could read idiotic anonymous trolls taking over comment threads on my previous posts or you could enrich yourself today by reading Andrew Hartman’s very interesting essay asking a question much of historians’ minds in recent years–were the 1960s radical?

I don’t have overly strong feelings on this matter as I am not really a historian of the period, although I have moved in this direction over the past year. But as I have many friends who think about this question frequently, I find the discussion provocative and fascinating. I highly recommend Hartman’s piece.
