AMERICAN CULTURAL HISTORY
T he chaotic events of the 60's, including war and social change, seemed destined to continue in the 70's. Major trends included a growing disillusionment of government, advances in civil rights, increased influence of the women's movement, a heightened concern for the environment, and increased space exploration. Many of the "radical" ideas of the 60's gained wider acceptance in the new decade, and were mainstreamed into American life and culture. Amid war, social realignment and presidential impeachment proceedings, American culture flourished. Indeed, the events of the times were reflected in and became the inspiration for much of the music, literature, entertainment, and even fashion of the decade.

AMERICAN CULTURAL HISTORY
T he sixties were the age of youth, as
70 million children from the post-war baby boom became teenagers and young adults. The movement away from the conservative fifties continued and eventually resulted in revolutionary ways of thinking and real change in the cultural fabric of American life. No longer content to be images of the generation ahead of them, young people wanted change. The changes affected education, values, lifestyles, laws, and entertainment. Many of the revolutionary ideas which began in the sixties are continuing to evolve today
T he purpose of this web and library guide is to help the user gain a broad understanding and appreciation for the culture and history of the 1960s. In a very small way, this is a bibliographic essay. While there is no way we can link to everything, we have attempted to find areas of special interest and to select information that we hold dear today - movies we watch, songs we sing, events that move us, people we admire.

Vietnam: A Teacher's Guide
The Asia Society's Focus on Asian Studies , Special Issue, No. 1, Fall 1983. Table of Contents
Preface
The year 1983-1984 will be a time of reassessment of the Vietnam War among Americans. The desire to "rethink" America's involvement in Vietnam has been prompted by the ten-year anniversary of the U.S. withdrawal of combat troops from Vietnam; the completion of the controversial Vietnam Memorial in Washington, D.C.; and events in Central America that pose some of the same kinds of dilemmas and foreign policy choices as did the situation in Vietnam. The WGBH Educational Foundation has produced a thirteen-part television retrospective, Vietnam: A Television History , to be broadcast by the Public Broadcasting Service starting in October, 1983. The series has also been adopted as a licensed telecourse. Information on the telecourse can be obtained from Films Incorporated, 1213 Wilmette Avenue, Wilmette, IL 60091; (312) 256-4730. The Asia Society's Education and Communications Department (editors and publishers of Focus on Asian Studies ) has taken this opportunity to prepare a teacher's guide on Vietnam for secondary school use. A committee of three university-based scholars and three secondary-level classroom teachers has pooled its considerable resources to write this guide. Robert Geise is Social Studies Chairman, South Side High School, Rockville Centre, NY. Michael J. Glatthaar is a secondary school teacher. A. Tom Grunfeld teaches history at SUNY/Empire State College. Moss Roberts is Associate Professor of Chinese at New York University in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Literatures and directed the East Asian Studies Program there for many years. Mark Willner is Assistant Principal, Chairman (Social Studies Department), Midwood High School, Brooklyn, NY. Marilyn Blatt Young is Professor of History at New York University.

Dwight D Eisenhower War In 'Operation Dewey Canyon', elements of the Third Marine Division based in the Da Krong valley invaded Laos. This was to be the last major operation by US Marines in Vietnam. On 23 February, 1969, a coordinated offensive by the NLF/PALF started. A total of 110 targets in South Vietnam, including the City of Saigon, were attacked. Two days later, 36 US Marines, camped near the border with North Vietnam, were killed in a raid conducted by the North Vietnamese Army. US troops began offensive strikes in the area of the North Vietnamese border on 15 March, 1969.

I haven't put it here because it takes awhile to load, slowing down access to the page.) Although this page is a supplement to my course, ENGL 275 "The Vietnam War and American Culture," I hope it will be much more than that, and will be generally useful for anyone interested in the Vietnam War Interview with Nguyen Cao Key, BBC Radio 3, 1977 (from The Listener 24 November 1977).
In this important and utterly ignored interview, the former Vice-President of South Vietnam admits: 1. US made all decisions, informed South Vietnamese government later; 2. Ho Chi Minh a "true leader"; 3. "We" were "not nationalists but puppets and lackeys of America."
No wonder apologists for US imperialism ignore this interview! (Thanks to Peter Brush, who informed the VWAR-L list of this article on May 21 2000). Michael Bilton and Kevin Sim, "My Lai: A Half-Told Story"

The Lessons of the Vietnam War -an interview with Noam Chomsky [Reproduced from Indochina Newsletter , Issue 18 (November - December, 1982), pages 1-5.] "American imperialism has suffered a stunning defeat in Indochina. But the same forces are engaged In another war against a much less resilient enemy. the American people. Here, the prospects for success are much greater. The battleground is ideological. not military. At stake are the lessons to be drawn from the American war In Indochina; the outcome will determine the course and character of new imperial ventures." Noam Chomsky, 1975 The following interview was conducted with Professor Chomsky in October 1982) - an interview with Noam Chomsky Q: When the Indochina war ended in 1975 you wrote that our nation's "official" opinion makers would engage in distortion of the lessons to be drawn from the war so that the same basic foreign policy goals could be pursued after the war. You felt then that in order to keep the real meaning of the war from penetrating the general public they faced two major tasks: First, they would have to disguise the fact that the war "was basically an American attack on South Vietnam a war of annihilation that spilled over to the rest of Indochina". And secondly, they would have to obscure the fact that the military effort in Vietnam "was restrained by a mass movement of protest and resistance here at home which engaged in effective direct action outside the bounds of propriety long before established spokesmen proclaimed themselves to be its leaders". Where do we stand now on these two issuesseven years later?

A Participant s Account of the american Movement Against the vietnam war. the vietnam war was the most successful antiwar movement in US history.
http://www.english.uiuc.edu/maps/vietnam/antiwar.html
The Anti-War Movement in the United States Mark Barringer A long with the Civil Rights campaigns of the 1960s, one of the most divisive forces in twentieth-century U.S. history. The antiwar movement actually consisted of a number of independent interests, often only vaguely allied and contesting each other on many issues, united only in opposition to the Vietnam War. Attracting members from college campuses, middle-class suburbs, labor unions, and government institutions, the movement gained national prominence in 1965, peaked in 1968, and remained powerful throughout the duration of the conflict. Encompassing political, racial, and cultural spheres, the antiwar movement exposed a deep schism within 1960s American society. A small, core peace movement had long existed in the United States, largely based in Quaker and Unitarian beliefs, but failed to gain popular currency until the Cold War era. The escalating nuclear arms race of the late 1950s led Norman Cousins, editor of the Saturday Throughout the first years of its existence, SDS focused on domestic concerns. The students, as with other groups of the Old and New Left, actively supported Lyndon Johnson in his 1964 campaign against Barry Goldwater. Following Johnson's victory, they refrained from antiwar rhetoric to avoid alienating the president and possibly endangering the social programs of the Great Society. Although not yet an antiwar organization, SDS actively participated in the Civil Rights struggle and proved an important link between the two defining causes of the decade.

Lecture 28
The Asian Connection: Road to Vietnam
The Vietnam War was the longest and most costly war in American history. From the Second World War through the end of the Cold War, United States policymakers tried to apply the lessons they had learned in Europe to the foreign policy problems of Asia. As a result, United States foreign policy in Asia was often incoherent and American intervention in Asian affairs often ended in tragedy. This lecture traces the origins and consequences of American involvement in Southeast Asia. Some questions to keep in mind:
  • Pointing to specific instances, explain how effectively or ineffectively American foreign policy leaders have maintained the ideal of political "self-determination" since World War I. Why was the "Domino Theory" an effective means of gaining political and popular support for American active involvement in foreign affairs? Compare and contrast JFK and LBJ's specific reasons for increasing America's involvement in the Vietnam conflict.

The program involves professional development with teachers in 47 secondary schools in eight states. This initiative brings groundbreaking research into secondary classrooms using a methodology that has been shown to engage all students in consideration of the ambiguities of history and the lessons for the future. The project focuses on significant turning points in our nation's relationship to the world around us, from the triangle trade of the 18th century to the U.S. role in the world today. This project engages teachers in participating districts with leading scholars in the field and assists them as they incorporate intellectually rigorous curricular resources and a proven pedagogical approach into the curriculum in their districts. Using a multi-leveled professional development approach, teacher-leaders from each district or region come to Brown University for residential summer institutes and then draw on this experience as they provide professional development to peers in their schools and districts. Regional and district level professional development ranges from one-week institutes to shorter workshops.

    Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. "Beyond Vietnam,"
    Address delivered to the Clergy and Laymen Concerned about Vietnam, at Riverside Church
    4 April 1967 New York City
    Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen, I need not pause to say how very delighted I am to be here tonight, and how very delighted I am to see you expressing your concern about the issues that will be discussed tonight by turning out in such large numbers. I also want to say that I consider it a great honor to share this program with Dr. Bennett, Dr. Commager, and Rabbi Heschel, some of the distinguished leaders and personalities of our nation. And of course it's always good to come back to Riverside Church. Over the last eight years, I have had the privilege of preaching here almost every year in that period, and it is always a rich and rewarding experience to come to this great church and this great pulpit.
    I come to this magnificent house of worship tonight because my conscience leaves me no other choice. I join you in this meeting because I am in deepest agreement with the aims and work of the organization which has brought us together, Clergy and Laymen Concerned About Vietnam. The recent statements of your executive committee are the sentiments of my own heart, and I found myself in full accord when I read its opening lines: "A time comes when silence is betrayal." That time has come for us in relation to Vietnam.

    The Vietnam War

    Companion Article: A question of valor in the killing fields
    Bob Kerrey confronts his ghosts from Vietnam
    From Issue: Alcohol and the Brain
    U.S. History, Military History Students will
  • gain a basic understanding of the causes of U.S. involvement in Vietnam during the 1960s and 1970s;
  • identify the military methods used to fight the Vietnam War on both sides; and
  • relate the strategies and tactics used by the U.S. military during the Vietnam War to the terrain, climate, and culture of the nation of Vietnam. Where is Vietnam located on a map? How long did the Vietnam War last? Why did the United States become involved in the Vietnam War? Why did so many Americans protest the war? How is the war portrayed in movies, in film, and on television? Is this portrayal accurate?
  • This activity should take two to three class periods. Begin class discussion by having students identify what they already know about the Vietnam War. Students may have prior knowledge of the war from movies such as Apocalypse Now Platoon , and Full Metal Jacket , as well as from television, books, magazines, and relatives. Place student responses on the board. Remind students that the U.S. Congress never formally declared war on North Vietnam and that the Vietnam War is the only war that the United States ever lost.
