The San Francisco Renaissance

Poetics and Community at Mid-Century

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Though the term 'San Francisco Renaissance' is usually associated with the Beat movement it was in reality a collage of different communities, often at odds with one another, whose agendas were social and political as much as aesthetic. These subcommunities provided important contexts for subsequent counterculture developments such as gay liberation, feminism, and the New Left long before those movements attracted widespread public attention.
