Janda shows that participants in both student activism and retreat from conformist society sought connections to Oklahoma’s past while forging new paths for themselves.

DESCRIPTION
COPY LINK: https://pdf.bookcenterapp.com/yumpu/0806157941 Student radicals and
hippies—inOklahoma? Though most scholarship about 1960s-era student activism and the
counterculture focuses on the East and West Coasts, Oklahoma’scollege campuses did
see significant activism and “drpping out.”In Prairie Power, Sarah Eppler Janda fills
a gap in the historical record by connecting the activism of Oklahoma students and the experience
of hippies to a state and a national history from which they have been absent. Janda shows that
participants in both student activism and retreat from conformist society sought connections to
Oklahoma’spast while forging new paths for themselves. She shows that Oklahoma
students linked their activism with the grassroots socialist radicalism and World War I–er
anti-draft protest of their grandparents’generation, citing Woody Guthrie, Oscar Ameringer,
and the Wobblies as role models. Many movement organizers in Oklahoma, especially those in
the University of Oklahoma’schapter of Students for a Democratic Society and the anti-war
movement, fit into a larger midwestern and southwestern activist mentality of “pririe
power” a blend of free-speech advocacy, countercultural expression, and anarchist
tendencies that set them apart from most East Coast student activists. Janda also reveals the
vehemence with which state officials sought to repress campus “agtators,”and
discusses Oklahomans who chose to retreat from the mainstream rather than fight to change it.
Like their student activist counterparts, Oklahoma hippies sought inspiration from older
precedents, including the back-to-the-land movement and the search for authenticity, but also
Christian evangelicalism and traditional gender roles. Drawing on underground newspapers and
declassified FBI documents, as well as interviews the author conducted with former activists and
government officials, Prairie Power will appeal to those interested in Oklahoma’shistory
and the counterculture and political dissent in the 1960s.
