Hippies: Peace
built 263 days ago
Hippies (Creative Arts Book Co.) is a disarming novel about peaceful, fun loving 1960s college kids who go to anti-war rallies the way that their parents went to pep rallies. There’s a bleak undercurrent to this bright-eyed coming-of-age yarn because you’re certain that some of the protagonists will never come of age. The location’s the tip-off: Kent State.

Instead of Christianity, it was the religions of the Far East that appealed more to the hippies. Having an honest-to-God (no pun intended) guru became a status symbol and burning incense became popular even for those who didn't have the misplaced belief it could disguise the smell of pot. The Hare Krishna's began to pop up on the streets preaching meditation, peace, denial of material goods, and hitting everyone up for money. Traditional Buddhism and Zen - ... popular with the Beats - had some vogue, and as usual, the more credulous might go in for astrology and various forms of mysticism.
