Chronicle of a Summer – $530 / Blue Ray – $685

11 March, 2013 by rgonzalezr

Chronicle of a Summer Few films can claim to be as influential to the course of cinema history as this one. The fascinating result of a collaboration between filmmaker-anthropologist Jean Rouch (Moi, un noir) and sociologist Edgar Morin, this vanguard work of what Morin would term cinéma verité is a brilliantly conceived and realized sociopolitical diagnosis of the early sixties in France. By simply interviewing a group of Paris residents in the summer of 1960—beginning with the provocative and […]

Cold Fact - $530

11 March, 2013 by rgonzalezr

VINYL FORMAT. It’s one of the lost classics of the ’60s, a psychedelic masterpiece drenched in color and inspired by life, love, poverty, rebellion, and, of course, “jumpers, coke, sweet mary jane“. The album is Cold Fact, and what’s more intriguing is that its maker “a shadowy figure known as Rodriguez” was, for many years, lost too. A decade ago, he was rediscovered working on a Detroit building site, unaware that his defining album had become not only a cult […]

The Freeing of the Dust – $230

8 November, 2012 by rgonzalezr

In the sixty poems that comprise The Freeing of the Dust, Denise Levertov continues to explore the personal and public themes that have threaded through her work in the past several years. The disastrous American involvement in Indochina, relations with family and close friends, are depicted with unique poignancy as she pits the at times terrifying concrete image against her vision of the ideal. Here we have poems that speak out of the direct tragedy of war, the result of […]

Portland in the 1960s: Stories from the Counterculture – $395

2 November, 2012 by rgonzalezr

In 1968, Newsweek reported an imminent threat of twenty thousand hippies descending on Portland, Oregon. Although the numbers were exaggerated, Portland did boast a vibrant 1960s culture of disenchanted and disenfranchised individuals seeking social and political revolution. Barefoot and bellbottomed, they hung out in Portland’s bohemian underground and devised a better world. What began in coffee shop conversations found its voice in the Willamette Bridge newspaper, KBOO radio station and the Portland State University student strike, resulting in social, artistic and political […]

Free Jazz (The Roots of Jazz) – $255

16 September, 2012 by rgonzalezr

When originally published in 1974, Ekkehard Jost’s Free Jazz was the first examination of the new music of such innovators as Sun Ra, Ornette Coleman, and the Art Ensemble of Chicago. Jost studied the music (not the lives) of a selection of musicians—black jazz artists who pioneered a new form of African American music—to arrive at the most in-depth look so far at the phenomenon of free jazz. Free jazz is not absolutely free, as Jost is at pains to point […]

The Visual World of French Theory: Figurations – $845

2 September, 2012 by rgonzalezr

This revelatory book focuses on a remarkable series of encounters between the most prominent French philosophers of the 1960s and 1970s—Sartre, Deleuze, Bourdieu, and Foucault among them—and the artists of their times, most particularly the protagonists of the Narrative Figuration movement. Each encounter involved either a mutual engagement or the writing of critical texts or catalogue prefaces—texts that illuminate not only the work of the artists but also the production of the philosopher-writer concerned. Although the protagonists of “French theory” […]

Drawing the Line Once Again: Paul Goodman’s Anarchist Writings – $295

9 August, 2012 by rgonzalezr

Painting a vivid picture of 1960s counterculture ideas, this new collection of the late Paul Goodman‘s essential anarchist writings—from utopian essays to practical proposals—reveals how he inspired the dissident youth of the era and profoundly influenced movement theory and practice. Long out-of-print, these provocative, insightful, and incisive pieces analyze citizenship and civil disobedience, decentralization and the organized system—all while still mindful of the long anarchist tradition and of the Jeffersonian democracy that resonated strongly in Goodman’s own political thought. […]

Curso de filosofía moral – $320

17 July, 2012 by rgonzalezr

La moral es el horizonte que define la acción del hombre y, como tal, es totalitaria y se define por sí sola. Nada humano le es ajeno, puesto que junto a la pregunta ontológica fundamental entorno al «ser» –«¿Qué soy?»– aparecerá siempre el cuestionamiento moral entorno a la acción –«¿Qué debo hacer?»–. La moral es comprendida, entonces, como «una segunda naturaleza», ya sea que se conciba como mejora de lo dado natural, a la manera de la Antigüedad, o bien […]

Acid Dreams: The Complete Social History of LSD: The CIA, the Sixties, and Beyond – $240

21 May, 2012 by rgonzalezr

Acid Dreams is the complete social history of LSD and the counterculture it helped to define in the sixties. Martin Lee and Bruce Shlain‘s exhaustively researched and astonishing account-part of it gleaned from secret government files-tells how the CIA became obsessed with LSD as an espionage weapon during the early l950s and launched a massive covert research program, in which countless unwitting citizens were used as guinea pigs. Though the CIA was intent on keeping the drug to itself, it […]

There’s a Riot Going On: Revolutionaries, Rock Stars, and the Rise and Fall of the ’60s – $235

16 April, 2012 by rgonzalezr

Between 1965 and 1972, political activists around the globe prepared to mount a revolution. While the Vietnam War raged, calls for black power grew louder and liberation movements erupted everywhere from Berkeley, Detroit, and Newark, to Paris, Berlin, Ghana, and Peking. Rock and soul music fueled the revolutionary movement with anthems and iconic imagery. Soon the musicians themselves, from John Lennon and Bob Dylan to James Brown and Fela Kuti, were being dragged into the fray. From Mick Jagger’s legendary […]

Daring To Be Bad: Radical Feminism in America 1967-1975 – $245

16 April, 2012 by rgonzalezr

The women’s liberation movement that began in 1967 is an absorbing study in political struggle. Radical women rejecting male dominance also rejected conventional political and organizational techniques. Their consciousness raised, they scrutinized each step, each meeting, each action, seeking theory and political practice untainted by patriarchal or hierarchical elements. Echols traces the volatile history of this movement, explaining clearly the positions of the various groups, the reasons for splintering and division, the controversies. She shows how ideas emerged that have […]

The Typewriter Is Holy: The Complete, Uncensored History of the Beat Generation – $295

16 April, 2012 by rgonzalezr

Anyone who cares to understand the literary and cultural ferment of America in the later twentieth century must be familiar with the writings and lives of those scruffy bohemians known as the Beat Generation. In this highly entertaining work, Bill Morgan, the country’s leading authority on the movement and a man who personally knew most of the Beats, narrates the history of these writers as primarily a social group of friends, tracing their origins together during the World War II […]
