Acerca de este título
This entertaining, intellectual history fulfills the growing appetite for marginalized narratives. Counterculture brilliantly interrogates the diversity of counterculture and the interwoven relationship between each individual legacy. From Anarchism to the Harlem Renaissance, Alex Zamalin unveils the humanity behind these romanticized figures and popularized movements to capture revolutionary freedom in action.
American counterculture, defined as a movement whose values are outside and oppositional to mainstream norms and whose practices fundamentally reject what is socially respectable, ultimately transformed the 20th century.
With key players:
- Emma Goldman
- Billie Holiday
- Allen Ginsberg
- Amiri Baraka
- Jean-Michel Basquiat
And key movements:
- Anarchism
- Black Bohemia
- The Harlem Renaissance
- The Beat Generation
- The Black Arts Movement
- Hip-Hop
Counterculture reaches new depths, tackling a wide range of historical, social, and political topics, and expanding contemporary understandings of American cultural tradition.
At a time when counterculture was on the outskirts of American society, Alex Zamalin explores the reason why.
Reseñas de la crítica
“Zamalin approaches these countercultures from multiple perspectives so that his book is not only the white, male, heteronormative history of the movements but a more inclusive account. VERDICT: A good introduction to the process of culture making in the 20th century.”
—Library Journal
“Zamalin demonstrates incontestably why he is considered unequivocally to be our premier cultural historian.”
—Gerald Horne, author of Armed Struggle? Panthers and Communists, Black Nationalists and Liberals in Southern California Through the Sixties and Seventies
“Counterculture is a brilliant text. Zamalin’s agile mind creates connections that we did not know existed. From Emma Goldman to Amiri Baraka, this book is an expertly woven tapestry of radical, marginalized cultures and movements and the ways in which they have built upon one another. A necessary book that fills a gap in our collective history. At a time when it feels like hope is in short supply, this book is a necessary corrective: a reminder that the struggle is always ongoing.”
—Dave Zirin, author of The Kaepernick Effect: Taking a Knee, Changing the World
“Zamalin provides an engaging, well-researched, and immersive set of readings to shift our thinking about American countercultures. Zamalin connects dots we might not expect, across lines of race, gender, sexuality, and class, and in the process brings new life and power to a concept that has too often been dismissed as fringe and frivolous.”
—John Keene, author of Punks: New & Selected Poems
“Zamalin celebrates the legacy of so many people who dared to ask ‘What if?’ and who left the powerful legacies celebrated here. What do you want your own legacy to be? How will future generations celebrate you?”
—Rob Hopkins, author of From What Is to What If
“Counterculture brings much-needed historical depth to contemporary debates about the meaning of American democracy.”
—Jackson Lears, author of Animal Spirits: The American Pursuit of Vitality from Camp Meeting to Wall Street
“Zamalin reminds us that countercultures can be, and throughout history have been, more than a lifestyle choice or a market to exploit: they are platforms for experimentation with radical new ways of being, feeling, thinking, and acting. Counterculture, and the stories of the cultural rebels it tells so well, are the necessary antidote to convention, no matter what its ideology.”
—Stephen Duncombe, author of Dream: Re-Imagining Progressive Politics in an Age of Fantasy
