author, a sociologist of religion at the University of Alberta, describes the
focus of this work as 'the cultural transition of American youth from
radical politics to mystical religion in the late 1960s and early 1970s.'
His sources include twenty in-depth interviews of militants of the era
together with the perusal of a staggering amount of ephemera in various
archives and his personal collection. |
