Men's long hair and vividly colored, sexualized clothes challenged long established traditions of masculine identity. \u003ci\u003ePeacock Revolution \u003c\/i\u003eis an in-depth study of how radical changes in men's clothing reflected, and contributed to, the changing ideas of American manhood initiated by a 'youthquake' of rebellious baby boomers coming of age in an era of social revolutions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeaturing a detailed examination of the diverse socio-cultural and socio-political movements of the era, the book examines how those dissents and advocacies influenced the youthquake generation's choices in dress and ideas of masculinity. Daniel Delis Hill provides a thorough chronicle of the peacock fashions of the time, beginning with the mod looks of the British Invasion in the early 1960s, through the counterculture street styles and the mass-market trends they inspired, and concluding with the dress-for-success menswear revivals of the 1970s Me-Decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Daniel Delis Hill's book will prove of significant interest to scholars of popular American dress, researchers in men's fashion and to historians of the period.
