- Book Synopsis
- From hipsters to beatniks and punks to bohemians, discover the history and legacy of countercultures throughout the world. Examining various underground movements and subcultures from 1830 to the present day, this book shows how out of these often marginalized pockets of bohemianism came works now accepted as among the great creative achievements of the past two centuries. Organized into sections exploring what countercultures are, key individuals belonging to countercultures, and when and where major subculture movements took place, introductory essays augment encyclopedic entries on all things hip, bohemian, and counterculture. Further aiding learning and quick reference are a detailed chronology, a glossary of hip terms and lingo, and suggestions of further readings. Of use to students, researchers, and anyone interested in countercultures, this book sheds lights on the legacy of such subcultures, key participants, and when and where they took place and sparks curious readers to then dig deeper into these subcultures in future research and readings.
