From the "beats" of the 1950s to the fall of Saigon in 1975, baby-boomer youth transformed society through the counterculture, sexual revolution, the new left, student power, environmentalism, and liberation movements, making the "Sixties" the homeland of today. The course compares the Canadian and US experiences of this turbulent era. *** Prerequisite: One HIST course or completion of 30 credit hours ***
