Separatism / A Legacy 1960-1990 : A 6 page paper on
how the 1960s led to the separatism of the 1990s. The
writer proves, through historical, socioeconomic and
political perspectives that “the revolutionaries of the 1960s
are still stranded on the edge of the abyss and scrambling for
ways to keep their children from falling in. One or more
leaders today haven’t the charisma or opportunity, due to
media castration, to lead them. Leadership is coming in the
form of separatism into various cultures. Just as they were
then, the boomers are stuck looking for identity in
separatism, and also as they were then, they are the leaders
of that revolution.” Bibliography lists 14 sources. 60s.wps
