«In het voetspoor van de hippies» is the historical essay by Willem Oosterbeek, published by De Geus in paperback (182 pages, in Dutch).
In the sixties and seventies, thousands of young people crossed Europe to India and Nepal in vans, trains or by hitchhiking, fleeing consumerism in search of spirituality. The work analyses whether the hippie trail responded to an inner quest, adventure or drugs, and how that contact with other cultures changed a generation's consciousness and paved the way for today's backpacker tourism.
Non-fiction work originally published in 2019; its subtitle is «over land van Europa naar India en Nepal».
For readers interested in the counterculture of the sixties and seventies, the history of the hippie movement and the origin of today's backpacker tourism.
