根据最近的采访，这本独特的60年代书汇集了60年代运动的左翼领导人的声音。今天，许多人仍然是活动家，经验和时间的流逝使他们能够超越怀旧，对过去、现在和未来形成更现实的观点。他们讨论了民权和反战运动、60年代的政治结果、爱国主义、恐怖主义以及年轻人在未来的角色。60年代取得了重大进展，但也有许多挫折影响着今天的选民、领导人、候选人和我们的日常现实。这本书的60年代不仅仅是对大麻和摇滚乐的美好回忆；伤亡惨重，包括天真无邪和年轻的理想主义。阿格最后对下一个左派的可能性进行了反思，这在年轻人对奥巴马总统候选人的大规模支持中已经隐约可见。
Sixties at 40: Leaders and Activists Remember and Look Forward
Based on recent interviews, this unique sixties book brings together the voices of the Left leaders who spawned the sixties movements. Many remain activists today, and experience and the passage of time allow them to transcend nostalgia to form more realistic perspectives on past, present, and future. They discuss the civil rights and antiwar movements, the political outcome of the sixties, patriotism, terror, and the role of young people in the future. Important gains were made during the sixties, but there were many setbacks, too, that influence today’s voters, leaders, candidates, and our day-to-day realities. The sixties of this book are not simply a sweet memory of marijuana and album rock; there were many casualties, including innocence and youthful idealism. Agger concludes with reflections on the possibilities of a next Left, which was already faintly visible in young people’s massive support of Obama’s presidential candidacy.
