Description
The Hippie Trail A History, 1957-1978 by Sharif Gemie and Brian Ireland is a comprehensive account of the journey that captivated hundreds of thousands of young people in the 1960s and 1970s. The book explores the motivations and experiences of these travellers, who sought adventure, spiritual growth, and alternative lifestyles. The authors structure their analysis around four key debates: the role of drugs, the search for love and freedom, the nature of tourism, and the similarities with pilgrimages. By examining the Trail through a range of sources, including films, novels, and autobiographical accounts, Gemie and Ireland shed new light on this pivotal moment in modern history. This book will appeal to anyone interested in the Hippie Trail or the 1960s counterculture, as well as students researching the period.
