"This is America?": The Sixties in Lawrence, Kansas. By Rusty L. Monhollon. (New York: Palgrave, 2002. xvi, 284 pp. $39.95, ISBN 0-312-29329-1.)
The first generation of books on the 1960s were largely written by activists in the sixties movements and academics from diverse disciplines. In the past decade or so, a second wave, chiefly written by historians, has included archival investigations of discrete 1960s phenomena or locales and more general reinterpretations that reflect the prevalence of neoliberal ideology and the resurgent right in contemporary American politics.	1
