Media, Education, and America's Counter-Culture Revolution: Lost and Found Opportunities for Media Impact on Education, Gender, Race, and the Arts FROM THE PUBLISHER Media, Education and America's Counter-Culture Revolution is an adaptation and amalgamation of some of the author's speeches, papers, and essays during his service in several federal government communication and education posts during the 1960s and 1970s. Dealing with the use and misuse of media and their impact--or lack of it--on our country's political, cultural, and educational development, this book shows how far we fell short of what we might have done with the media, and suggests what we might still do. SYNOPSIS Discusses the use and misuse of media and its impact--or lack of it--on our country's political, cultural, and educational development. FROM THE CRITICS Booknews During the 1960s and 1970s, Hilliard (media arts, Emerson College, Boston) was serving in a number of US government media and education positions in Washington, and participated in the counter-culture revolution that encompassed the civil rights and women's liberation movements and protests against the irrelevancies of education and social norms. Here he compiles and comments on some of the hundred of speeches and papers advocating education and media reform that he delivered at the time. Annotation c.
