  • Making Peace with the Sixties: Reevaluating the Legacy of a Cultural Revolution

    Making Peace with the Sixties: Reevaluating the Legacy of a Cultural Revolution

    CHRISTIAN RESEARCH INSTITUTE P.O. Box 8500, Charlotte, NC 28271 Feature Article: JAS060 MAKING PEACE WITH THE SIXTIES: REEVALUATING THE LEGACY OF A CULTURAL REVOLUTION by Steve Rabey This article first appeared in the Christian Research Journal, volume 27, number 4 (2004). For further information or to subscribe to the Christian Research Journal go to: http://www.equip.org SYNOPSIS The 1960s may be long gone, but they certainly are not forgotten, and many of the core ideas and values of this turbulent period remain alive and well in present-day America. Some Christians dismiss the sixties as a period of silliness. Other Christians, however, blame the decade for many of the ills that trouble contemporary America, even though the seeds of many of the sixties upheavals were sown during the seemingly placid fifties. Throughout the sixties, spiritually hungry seekers influenced both alternative and institutional streams of spirituality. Sixties spiritual values such as individualism, the valuing of experience over doctrine, the preference for anything new over anything old, the sacralization of the secular, and the use of drugs as a spiritual tool continue to have a profound influence on modern life and contemporary religion. The Jesus movement was one major Christian response to the revolutionary changes of the sixties. This movement’s contemporary music and more relaxed approach toward church are its major contributions to today’s ecclesiology. Though it was a turbulent and troubling time, the sixties forced many Americans to confront long-simmering issues such as race, gender, sexuality, war, authority, and patriotism. Anyone emerging today from a decades-long, Rip Van Winkle–like slumber (or even a Timothy Leary– like trip to the far side of the space-time continuum) might be forgiven for thinking he or she was still living in the 1960s.

Surveying the area through a lens of geographic place and space, this research will look at the historical factors that led to the rise of a counterculture here. To contextualize this development, it is necessary to examine the development of a cosmopolitan neighborhood after World War II that was multicultural and bohemian into something culturally unique.
  • It's Hip to Unzip Open Land Communes and Their Neighbours

    It's Hip to Unzip Open Land Communes and Their Neighbours

    “It’s Hip to Unzip”: Open Land Communes and Their Neighbours in Northern California, 1966-1979 by John Stuart Miller B.A., The University of British Columbia, 2013 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (History) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) December 2016 © John Stuart Miller, 2016 Abstract This essay considers the histories of two countercultural, back-to-the-land communes located in northern California: Siskiyou County’s Black Bear Ranch and Sonoma County’s Morning Star Ranch. Both of these communes were highly influenced by the concept of Open Land, according to which anyone may freely live in a given space, particularly those individuals rejected or alienated by urban modernity. I examine the ways in which these communes related to and were shaped by their rural neighbours, as well as the local state, asserting the importance of the surrounding community in effecting events at each commune. I argue that positive relations with neighbours determined the continued viability of these communes, and that these positive relations in turn required a compromise of original founding principles including Open Land. I further uncover the changing perceptions rural people held of hippie communards, and contextualize the back-to-the-land ideal within broader American traditions of frontier settlement and reinvention. !ii Preface This thesis is entirely the original, unpublished, and independent work of the author, John

    Interview J. Berman Commune (PDF)

    Interview with Jonathan Berman, Director of COMMUNE How did you get the idea for the film and was there something specific that inspired you? I grew up on Long Island in the 1960’s around that environment. You know just being a kid growing up around the 60’s and 70’s; this environment of the counterculture was always in the air, even in suburbia – maybe especially in suburbia. As I became a teenager I started to get into the music of Jimmy Hendrix and all that, playing keyboards and in rock bands. So I always had that warm feeling towards that whole world as an alternative to us and the bland world of suburban Long Island life. I was always intrigued by that and then was a Deadhead and into various counterculture ideas. The politics attracted me, and so when I was searching for my next project, I met this eccentric producer and was telling him about my film I was planning about barbequing in the Carolinas and he, being a New York no-nonsense eccentric: “I just don’t like that idea” and I said, “Well, what do you like?” because when you find, a co- producer, it is a good thing, and he said, “Well I like things that are off the grid” which literally means off the electric grid, that is alternative culture on the fringe. So that idea of things very much resonated with me, the idea of things being “off the grid.” How did you come into contact with the people of Black Bear Ranch? Well after that night, I did some reading and came across a book on the 60’s communes literally called “The Sixties Communes” by Tim Miller, a professor and read a few pages on Black Bear Ranch and said to myself, “this is it.” I saw Black Bear as the epicenter of all the benevolent anarchy and theatricality and counter culture ideas that speak to me.

    Hippieland: Bohemian Space and Countercultural Place in San Francisco’S Haight-Ashbury Neighborhood

    HIPPIELAND: BOHEMIAN SPACE AND COUNTERCULTURAL PLACE IN SAN FRANCISCO’S HAIGHT-ASHBURY NEIGHBORHOOD by KEVIN MITCHELL MERCER B.A. University of Central Florida, 2012 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History in the College of Arts and Humanities at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Summer Term 2017 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the birth of the late 1960s counterculture in San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury neighborhood. Surveying the area through a lens of geographic place and space, this research will look at the historical factors that led to the rise of a counterculture here. To contextualize this development, it is necessary to examine the development of a cosmopolitan neighborhood after World War II that was multicultural and bohemian into something culturally unique. It was within this space that a wellspring of drop-out culture evolved from a combination of psychedelic drugs, experimental lifestyles, and anarchistic thought. The contention of countercultural place was fully realized in the lead up to and during the “Summer of Love” in 1967. This pinnacle moment was also its demise as the massive influx of young people into the area stressed the area and the idea of a local hippie movement to a breaking point. The final part of this thesis looks at how this experience changed the area, and how the countercultural moved on to become a national movement, while its key practitioners moved their countercultural place making to smaller rural communes, where the lessons of the Haight-Ashbury could be applied.

    Salmon River Community Wildfire Protection Plan October 30, 2007 Final

    SALMON RIVER COMMUNITY WILDFIRE PROTECTION PLAN OCTOBER 30, 2007 FINAL PREFACE “The most important aspect of hazardous fuels reduction is reducing the threat to local communities. When it comes to reducing threat, we need to protect communities and help the communities to help themselves through changing the landscape from high risk to low risk. We'll accomplish that by working closely with communities on major projects.” USDA Forest Service Chief, Dale Bosworth From his “Statement on the 2000 National Fire Plan” The Salmon River Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) has developed a prioritized list of projects to focus and guide implementing landowners, organizations and funders. A key product of this Plan is the development of wildfire safety zones to reduce citizen and firefighter risks from future large wildfires. This project list consists of structure protection needs, prevention measures, pre-treatment and shaded fuelbreak construction to protect life and property in towns, residential areas, emergency access areas, and private/public interface areas. Other activities, such as adequate accessible water systems, plantation thinning, underburning, and natural fire management will be recommended. This Plan will also make recommendations that homeowners and communities can take to reduce the ignitability of structures throughout the Salmon River Watershed. The Plan will contain a Suppression Response plan and updating of the Residential Risk Assessment for Structures, Improvements and Wildfire readiness. The Salmon River Fire Safe Council (FSC) is sponsoring the development of this project. Cooperators on the FSC include community members, the U.S. Forest Service, California Department of Forestry, other managing agencies, the Karuk Tribe, the Salmon River Volunteer Fire and Rescue (SRFR), the Orleans/Somes Bar Fire Safe Council, and the Salmon River Restoration Council (SRRC).
