There's a pretty thorough and current ('96) essay at the back of David
Burner's "Making Peace with the 60s" (Princeton U. press).

See Frederic Jameson's "Periodizing the Sixties," and important commentary
on remembering the decade from the perspective of the mid-1980s. It is
anthologized in a collection containing other useful essays, _Sixties
without Apology_.

how strange, really? Try "One Flew Over The CuCoo's Nest," by Ken Kesey.
has even even more historical and cultural material particular to the time by
many of the writers and players who were there writing and playing. Also their

Dear Robert:
While I do not know of any really good historiographical essays on the
sixties, broadly defined, several more specialized reviews exist: See:
Wini Brienes, "Whose New Left?" Journal of American History 75 (Sept.
1988), p. 545; Maurice Isserman, "The Not-So-Dark and Bloody Ground: New
Works on the 1960s," American Historical Review 94:4 (Oct. 1989 ?), p.
990; and Alan Brinkley, "Dreams of the Sixties," New York Review of
Books 34:10 (1987).
