  Author: Edward K. Spann  Publication date: 2003  Rowman &
Littlefield  Publishers description:  They burned bras, draft
cards, and even the American flag. But what drove a group of
young Americans to democratic revolution in the tumultuous years
of the 1960s, and what made them think they could win? In this
book, Edward K. Spann looks at the motivations and values of the
young rebels of the 1960s. He links their fight for equality for
African Americans, women, and other marginalized groups to the
democratic values of their World War II-era parents. Spann
provides a cultural portrait of who the rebels were, what they
thought, what they did, and what became of them after they
crossed that magical divide of age thirty. Democracy's Children
will fascinate readers with its colorful depictions of the
individuals, events, and drama of the 1960s. Buy from amazon.com
