Spit in the Ocean #7
Between 1974 and 1981 Ken Kesey self-published six issues of a literary magazine called Spit in the Ocean. After Kesey's death in the fall of 2001, several of his close friends chose one of their number, writer Ed McClanahan, to put together a final issue of Spit as a tribute to Kesey's genius, his vast energy, his generous humanity, and his imperturbable spirit. Gathered here are contributions from cultural luminaries -- Paul Krassner, Wendell Berry, Bill Walton, Wavy Gravy, Ken Babbs, Rosalie Sorrels, Douglas Brinkley, Gurney Norman, Grateful Dead lyricists Robert Hunter and John Perry Barlow -- as well as many vintage Merry Pranksters and regular folks whose lives Kesey touched and influenced, and a dazzling array of previously unpublished pieces by Kesey himself. Spit in the Ocean #7 is a fitting homage -- a loving, many-faceted mosaic portrait of one of the most compelling creative forces in modern American culture. Book jacket.

Down Home
In 1969 after 20 years living in New York City, Engineer, Photographer & Educator William Henry Mackey, Jr. returned to the rural Georgia backwoods where he had been raised. During the 20 years since he had left, the South had undergone drastic changes, from the Civil Rights Era to the technological advances in farming techniques, yet at the same time it remained the same simple place where he had grown up. Mackey proceeded to photograph and interview friends, family and other residents of the area in an effort to document their history and recollections of an era that was fast fading under the onslaught of 'progress'. The result is a fascinating look into the legacy of rural Blacks in coastal Georgia and the political, technological and social changes they underwent during the century since the Emancipation Proclamation.
Weekend Societies
From massive raves sprouting around the London orbital at the turn of the 1990s to events operated under the control of corporate empires, EDM (Electronic Dance Music) festivals have developed into cross-genre, multi-city, transnational mega-events. From free party teknivals proliferating across Europe since the mid-1990s to colossal corporate attractions like Tomorrowland Electric Daisy Carnival and Stereosonic, and from transformational and participatory events like Burning Man and events in the UK outdoor psytrance circuit, to such digital arts and new media showcases as Barcelona's Sónar Festival and Montreal's MUTEK, dance festivals are platforms for a variety of arts, lifestyles, indu...
Radical Dreams
Surrealism is widely thought of as an artistic movement that flourished in Europe between the two world wars. However, during the 1960s, ’70s, and ’80s, diverse radical affinity groups, underground subcultures, and student protest movements proclaimed their connections to surrealism. Radical Dreams argues that surrealism was more than an avant-garde art movement; it was a living current of anti-authoritarian resistance. Featuring perspectives from scholars across the humanities and, distinctively, from contemporary surrealist practitioners, this volume examines surrealism’s role in postwar oppositional cultures. It demonstrates how surrealism’s committed engagement extends beyond the...
