The Drifters is a novel by James A. Michener; published by Random House in 1971.

The story, in main, traces the lives and travels of six young people who tour Europe and Africa searching themselves and a meaning for being; in a world which has irrefutably shown them that they have no say or control in much even of their own affairs. On the surface they are runaways who have carved for themselves a world based on illegal drugs, pleasure, and machismo in exotic locales. The author pens an iconic broadcloth in a mosaic which is a document of world history and culture of the period in which it is set and is a manual on bridging generation-gaps which ever confound the society at large.
