CULTURE/FASHION

Hippie* Hippie by Barry Miles
Between the years 1965 and 1971 something happened to make the world on one side of that divide all but unrecognizable to the world on the other side. For better or for worse (it very much depends on whom you ask), those seven years revolutionized western and eventually global — culture as utterly as any of the great turning points in our history. What happened were the hippies defined by virtually everything so-called straight society was not.
    Hippie combines hundreds of photographs, a fascinating narrative highlighting all the social and cultural upheavals of the time, as well as quotations from many of the people — Ken Kesey, Timothy Leary, Grace Slick, George Harrison, Wavy Gravy, and many others — who lived through and shaped the counter culture. Proceeding year by year, it gives an unprecedented degree of shape and coherence to a time that by its nature is kaleidoscopically bewildering.
