Excerpt
Daniel Horowitz, On the Cusp: The Yale College Class of 1960 and a World on the Verge of Change. Amherst, MA: University of Massachusetts Press, 2015. $24.95. 336 pp.…Daniel Horowitz, the Mary Higgins Gamble Professor of American Studies emeritus at Smith College, asks, “How did the 1950s become ‘The Sixties’?” The book examines “the dynamics of social and political change through the experiences of a small, and admittedly privileged, generational cohort.” Part memoir, part collective biography, and part cultural history, Horowitz’s narrative illuminates the evolution of personal and social change.
