A propos de cet article

PLAY POWER: EXPLORING THE INTERNATIONAL UNDERGROUND, Richard Neville, hardcover with dust jacket (not price-clipped), stated first American edition, 1970. BOOK CONDITION: good. Text block in fine condition, with no dog-ears, marks, or tears. The pastedowns are foxed, as are the edges. Not a library book nor a remainder. No bookplate but the signature of prior owner is written inside the front cover. The orange boards are in good condition (bumped spine and corners, discoloring at top of boards). The dust jacket is in fair condition (chipping and crinkling along top and bottom edges, stain along one of the folds). 8 ½ x 5 ¾, 325 pages, 20 ounces. XX [From the dust jacket] An animated, newsreel tour of the international underground from New York and Berkeley to London, Paris, Amsterdam, Prague, Nepal. Neville analyzes the Youth Movement—the antagonistic alliance between the New Left (the alphabet soup of radical student protest, S.D.S., etc.) and the Underground of hippies, beats, mystics, madmen, freaks, yippies, crazies, crackpots, communards, etc.; the Underground of drugs, rock music, communal living, alternate media, organized violence, street theater and poetry, love and revolution. The first section takes you on a tour of scenes of protest on campus and street. In spite of national differences, the evolution of the youth counter-culture has emphasized similarities that cross national and language borders. Movement members share solidarity and common aspirations, style, mood and vocabulary. Long hair is their declaration, pop music their Esperanto, and they puff pot in their peace pipe. "Group Grope" describes the change in sexual style—women's liberation, communes, and the abolition of the pornographic mentality. “Pop" is classless, international, and a potent if paradoxical force for change. ' 'Guerrilla Press" surveys the underground press- Besides listing papers, Play Power discusses in detail the "styles and strategies" of the new Movement: how pornography, obscenity and sedition are integral social and political techniques of confrontation. '"On the Road to Katmandu" offers some practical advice on the trails of the exotic East (where to stay for how much). The ' 'Politics of Play" is the philosophy and the common ingredient of the daring new strategy which will disrupt, outrage, and revolutionize society in the seventies. Play Power is a frenetic, panoramic book, important for those who consider themselves part of the Movement, and essential for those who are outside it. RICHARD NEVILLE was born in Sydney, Australia, in 1941. He founded the controversial magazine Oz in Sydney and London and continues [1970] to edit it from London when not on the international underground road. …
