So begins Curtis White's thrilling call for the revitalization of counterculture today. The problem, White argues, is twofold: first, most of us think of counterculture as a phenomenon stuck in the 1960s, and, second, what passes as counterculture today . . . simply isn't. Nevertheless, a reimagined counterculture is our best hope to save the planet, bypass social antagonisms, and create the world we actually want to live in. Now. White--"the most inspiringly wicked social critic of the moment" (Will Blythe, Elle)--shows how the products of our so-called resistance, from Ken Burns to Black Panther, rarely offer a meaningful challenge to power, and how our loyalty to the "American Lifestyle" is self-defeating and keeps us from making any real social change. The result is an inspiring case for practicing civil disobedience as a way of life, and a clear vision for a better world--full of play, caring, and human connection."--Jacket flap. 650 0 $a Counterculture $z United States. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200603012543.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20200307010305.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=26213D885D1D11EA9B49BA2197128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
