Abstract
The purpose of this thesis is to explore the socio-political climate of the 1950s United States through the scope of Jack Kerouac’s acclaimed novel On the Road. While referring to the specific excerpts from the novel, the thesis will explore the notion of counterculture and illustrate the socio-political state of the 1950s American society. Since the late 1940s, various authors of the Beat Generation aimed to raise the awareness that American society was blinded by conformity and overconsumption, while the government was still engaging in foreign wars, constantly prompting militarism and unfair treatment of the minorities. The further influence those writers had on the young people of the 1960s was immense, as their observations paved the way for important social movements. The data used in this thesis will include various magazine and web articles, books, and essays, as well as the author’s own outlook on the given topics.
