General References about Counterculture, Hippies, and Utopias in the US

Works presented in this part focus not only on the back-to-the-land/back-to-nature movements, but more generally about hippie counterculture and utopias during the 60s and 70s within US, with a particular attention to the Bay Area. They also include references about the history of communal living in the country. The separation between academic and non-academic works is just intended for simplification: the second section may include references sharing both purposes, under the category “Others”. Moreover, many important writings by participants and founders of the counterculture can be found in other parts and sections of this bibliography.
