>
> FROM THE PUBLISHER
> Stephen A. Kent takes a provocative look at the early 1970s -- an
> often overlooked yet colorful period when the Vietnam War and
> student protests were on the wane as new religious groups grew in
> size and visibility. Certainly, religious strains were evident
> throughout postwar popular culture from the 1950s Beat generation
> into the 1960s drug counter-culture, but the explosion of
> nontraditional religions during the early 1970s was unprecedented.
> Kent maintains that the failure of political activism led many
> former radicals to become involved with groups such as the Hare
> Krishnas, Scientology, Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church, the
> Jesus movement, and the Children of God. Drawing on scholarly
> literature, alternative press reportage, and personal narratives,
> Kent shows how numerous activists turned from psychedelia and
> political activism to guru worship and spiritual quest both as a
> response to the failures of social protest and as a new means of
> achieving societal change.
> SYNOPSIS
> Drawing from his own memories, from published accounts of the anti-
> war movement during the 1960s and early 1970s, and interviews with
> people who when through the process, Kent (sociology, U. of
> Alberta) details how political radicals suddenly transformed
> themselves into political adherents to various exotic and often
> obscure religious sects.

> FROM THE CRITICS
> Publishers Weekly
> In this lucid and economical study, sociologist Kent examines a
> little-noted confluence: the same years that saw American youth
> delving into radical politics and protesting war also saw them turn
> to unusual, sometimes cultish, spiritual traditions. Kent
> challenges traditional scholarship by arguing that such conversions
> to alternative religious traditions marked "a crisis of means," not
> a "a crisis of meaning," as has often been assumed. Political
> activism, says Kent, was meant to accomplish something: above all,
> to end the Vietnam War. When it became increasingly apparent that
> countercultural politics were not, in fact, achieving the desired
> ends, activists discovered other methods in new religious groups.
> That a disaffected generation should turn to spirituality is not
> surprising; that it should do so for political reasons is indeed
> interesting. Just as useful as Kent's provocative (if overly
> functionalist) argument is his descriptive ethnography of many of
> the religious paths that became prominent during the 1970s the Hare
> Krishnas, Transcendental Meditation, Scientology, the Unification
> Church and the Healthy, Happy, Holy Organization. This book's
> import goes far beyond the seemingly narrow scope of its subject;
> when coupled with the recent work of Christian Smith (Divided by
> Faith and Disruptive Religion), Kent's study promises to reshape
> and reinvigorate the very language we use to discuss the nexus
> between religion and politics in America. (Dec.) Copyright 2001

> Library Journal
> Books on countercultural religion in the United States in the 1960s
> and 1970s are just now being published. Here, Kent (sociology,
> Univ. of Alberta, Canada) analyzes the religious movements that
> took root among young people in the United States toward the end of
> the Vietnam War era. He traces the cultural changes some U.S. youth
> experienced as they moved from the political protests of the
> Sixties to mystical religious conversions in the early Seventies.
> The book provides a catalog of religious options that were pursued
> by those who had been dedicated to "the revolution," all of which
> fall into the categories of the cultic, occult, or Eastern
> religions. A section on psychedelic drug-enhanced religious
> experiences typifies the type of material covered in this study.
> Kent admits that a shift to religion was not the only transition
> possible some instead chose the women's movement, gay rights,
> ecology, rural living, and other social movements. And he
> recognizes that not everyone will agree that the transition to
> religion was a good one. The catalog of persons and experiences
> documented here will not be familiar to many historians, and much
> of it will fall outside the realm of study for religious scholars.
> Nevertheless, this study, which utilizes sources such as personal
> narratives and the alternative press, is recommended for academic
> and public libraries. James A. Overbeck, Atlanta-Fulton P.L.,

&gt; -- an often overlooked yet colorful period when the Vietnam War and
&gt; student protests were on the wane as new religious groups grew in
&gt; size and visibility. Certainly, religious strains were evident
&gt; throughout postwar popular culture from the 1950s Beat generation
&gt; into the 1960s drug counter-culture, but the explosion of
&gt; nontraditional religions during the early 1970s was unprecedented.</ >

&gt; political activism led many former radicals to become involved with
&gt; groups such as the Hare Krishnas, Scientology, Sun Myung Moon's
&gt; Unification Church, the Jesus movement, and the Children of God.
&gt; Drawing on scholarly literature, alternative press reportage, and
&gt; personal narratives, Kent shows how numerous activists turned from
&gt; psychedelia and political activism to guru worship and spiritual
&gt; quest both as a response to the failures of social protest and as a

this lucid and economical study, sociologist Kent
&gt; examines a little-noted confluence: the same years that saw
&gt; American youth delving into radical politics and protesting war
&gt; also saw them turn to unusual, sometimes cultish, spiritual
&gt; traditions. Kent challenges traditional scholarship by arguing that
&gt; such conversions to alternative religious traditions marked "a
&gt; crisis of means," not a "a crisis of meaning," as has often been
&gt; assumed. Political activism, says Kent, was meant to accomplish
&gt; something: above all, to end the Vietnam War. When it became
&gt; increasingly apparent that countercultural politics were not, in
&gt; fact, achieving the desired ends, activists discovered other
&gt; methods in new religious groups. That a disaffected generation
&gt; should turn to spirituality is not surprising; that it should do so
&gt; for political reasons is indeed interesting. Just as useful as
&gt; Kent's provocative (if overly functionalist) argument is his
&gt; descriptive ethnography of many of the religious paths that became
&gt; prominent during the 1970s the Hare Krishnas, Transcendental
&gt; Meditation, Scientology, the Unification Church and the Healthy,
&gt; Happy, Holy Organization. This book's import goes far beyond the
&gt; seemingly narrow scope of its subject; when coupled with the recent
&gt; work of Christian Smith (Divided by Faith and Disruptive Religion),
&gt; Kent's study promises to reshape and reinvigorate the very language
&gt; we use to discuss the nexus between religion and politics in
&gt; America. (Dec.) Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.</ >

on countercultural religion in the United States
&gt; in the 1960s and 1970s are just now being published. Here, Kent
&gt; (sociology, Univ. of Alberta, Canada) analyzes the religious
&gt; movements that took root among young people in the United States
&gt; toward the end of the Vietnam War era. He traces the cultural
&gt; changes some U.S. youth experienced as they moved from the
&gt; political protests of the Sixties to mystical religious conversions
&gt; in the early Seventies. The book provides a catalog of religious
&gt; options that were pursued by those who had been dedicated to "the
&gt; revolution," all of which fall into the categories of the cultic,
&gt; occult, or Eastern religions. A section on psychedelic drug-
&gt; enhanced religious experiences typifies the type of material
&gt; covered in this study. Kent admits that a shift to religion was not
&gt; the only transition possible some instead chose the women's
&gt; movement, gay rights, ecology, rural living, and other social
&gt; movements. And he recognizes that not everyone will agree that the
&gt; transition to religion was a good one. The catalog of persons and
&gt; experiences documented here will not be familiar to many
&gt; historians, and much of it will fall outside the realm of study for
&gt; religious scholars. Nevertheless, this study, which utilizes
&gt; sources such as personal narratives and the alternative press, is
&gt; recommended for academic and public libraries. James A. Overbeck,

&gt; CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing
&gt; propagandic
&gt; screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please!
&gt; These are
&gt; sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths,
&gt; mis-
&gt; directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different
&gt; groups with
&gt; major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and
&gt; thought.
&gt; That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts,
&gt; and
&gt; always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
&gt; credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
&gt; <p>
&gt; Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
