This unit will encourage you to think about the reasons for social and cultural change in the 1960s and the methods by which it occurred. By focusing on the Diggers, you will have the opportunity to look beyond the familiar sixties-era images and gain a more nuanced understanding of the experience of the counterculture. You will analyze writing, photography, and advertisements from the Diggers. Then you will assess the value and limitation of countercultural publications as historical sources. The questions accompanying the primary sources will encourage you to read the sources critically, considering author, audience, and the greater historic context. The historical material included in this unit allows you to take your own stand and begin to make sense of the cultural rebellion of the 1960s.
