Time is an ocean: the past and future of the Sixties.

The authors reflect on the purpose of the journal inspired by appreciation and understanding of the Sixties era. They lay down the fascinating claims on the Sixties and provide brief information. The journal which has three broad areas of inquiry: the Sixties themselves, their impact, and their construction in memory, is also discussed. Furthermore, they present the forms of disagreement and complexity in each area as well as its implication for our perception of the journal.
