Overview
While countercultural attitudes toward recreational drug use, gender roles and sexuality, rock music, and consumerism influenced many youths on the Left, the preponderance of leftist leaders shared a more conservative cultural sensibility. This exposed, Barr-Melej argues, a degree of intergenerational dissonance within leftist ranks. And while the allure of new and heterodox cultural values and practices among young people grew, an array of constituencies from the Left to the Right berated counterculture in national media, speeches, schools, and other settings. This public discourse of contempt ultimately contributed to the fierce repression of nonconformist youth culture following the coup.

About the Author
What People are Saying About This
Psychedelic Chile rescues an alternative vision of Chilean political culture. A refreshing and sympathetic look into the humanity of those Chileans who set out to challenge the Manichean politics of the period, Patrick Barr-Melej has produced an indispensable book for anyone studying the period.Ivan Jaksic, Stanford University
Psychedelic Chile is unique not only in considering the counterculture in Chile but also in focusing on the relation of the counterculture to mainstream politics, most especially the Left. Engaging and accessible, the book provides important insights as well as fascinating anecdotes of the era.Karin Alejandra Rosemblatt, University of Maryland, College Park
