{"product_id":"9781543424829","title":"Happily Hippie: Meet a Modern Ethnicity","description":"\u003cp\u003eHappily Hippie: Meet a Modern Ethnicity rethinks \"hippies.\" Hippiedom didn't die; rather, as with other outgroups, it became socially invisible. Happily Hippie argues that the Counterculture is a 50-year-old ethnicity and explains Hippiedom's ethnogenesis. We'll learn how anti-Hippie demagoguery has warped American politics, how the War on Drugs is largely about persecuting Hippie-America and how today's legalization movement is really about Hippie-America fighting for social equality. Happily Hippie documents the Counterculture's many accomplishments, including inventing the Personal Computer; it estimates over 30 million Hippie-Americans and shows readers crude demographic maps of Hippie-America. We look at Hippies in philanthropy, Hollywood, sports, various arts, new medicine, the natural-foods industry, the Green movement and around the globe. We'll see how stereotypes of Hippies echo those of other minorities, explore Hippie self-esteem issues, look at Hippie generational transfer and do some fun media analysis. We'll also consider the need for a Hippie-American Ethnic Organization and how we might begin one. If you're Hippie, if you've ever been Hippie, read this book. It will change your head; it can change this world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Xlibris US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47148074991856,"sku":"9781543424829","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781543424829_p0.jpg?v=1763748917","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781543424829","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
