Happily Hippie: Understanding, Celebrating and Defending a Living Ethnicity rethinks hippies. Hippiedom didn’t die in 1970; rather, as with other outgroups, it became socially invisible. The ethnic-hippies theory (EHT) argues that the counterculture is a fifty-year-old ethnicity and explains hippiedom’s ethnogenesis. Readers will learn how anti-hippie demagoguery has warped American politics, how the war on drugs is largely about persecuting American hippies and how today’s legalization movement is really about American hippies fighting for respectability and social equality. Happily Hippie documents the counterculture’s stunning accomplishments, including inventing the personal computer. It estimates there are now over thirty million Americans hippies and shows readers demographic maps of American hippies as well as hippies in Hollywood, philanthropy, sports, various arts, new medicine, the natural- and organic-foods industry, the environmental movement, and around the globe. We’ll see how stereotypes of hippies echo those of other minorities, explore self-esteem issues of hippies, look at hippie generational transfer, and do some media analysis with EHT. Finally, we’ll consider the need for an American hippie ethnic organization and how we might begin one. If you’re a hippie, if you’ve ever been a hippie, if you think you might be a hippie, read this book. It will change your head, it will change your life, and it can change this world.
