9780942991192: Before the First Snow: Stories from the Revolution

Sinossi

Birmingham. Delano. Chicago. Woodstock. Kent State.Hippies. Yippies. Cops and politicians.People were marching. People were protesting. The news media reported, discussed, editorialized, lampooned, and cynically dismissed the new social movements forged from alienation. With wit and biting cynicism, mixed with large doses of reality forged by a web of literary journalism, Brasch slowly builds a scenario of greed an intrigue, capably weaving an intricate psychological and social issues mystery of insight into the people and culture that was America from the social revolution of the '60s, into acid rock, the "me" generation, the "X" generation, and the return of the "Happy Days" mentality. Before the First Snow is an insight not just of one moment in history, but also of lessons of contemporary American culture and values, lessons about people, attitudes, issues, and governments, all of which have become even more relevant since 9/11. The fusion of history, contemporary society, and character make this a powerful insight into the collective consciousness of a people.

Dal risvolto di copertina interno

People were singing. People were marching. People were protesting. The media reported, editorialized, lampooned, misreported, and scornfully dismissed the new social movements forged from alienation. And then the revolution of the 1960s dissolved into the 1980s and gave birth to the Me Generation. But one person never lost her principles. Apryl Greene, a child of the '60s now in her early 40s, is a musician and freelance photographer. While others want to become a part of corporate America, she continues to protest war, while fighting for social justice and the preservation of the environment. On 40 acres of forest in northeastern Pennsylvania, she plans to build a school for peace and the arts. But, on the eve of the Persian Gulf War, powerful forces have begun a process to legally seize the land. For a nation torn between the fear of the destruction of an oil-driven economy and the promise of clean nuclear energy, Apryl is facing the power of banks, private industry, and the government, all of which may be wrapping their actions under the guise of national security. Into her life comes social activist David Ascher, cynical, liberal, and burdened with the responsibilities of being executive editor of a major national magazine. He's after a story; she's after something more important. Together, they are driven to find out who are trying to seize her land; more important, why. (continued on back flap) (continued from front flap) Award-winning journalist Walter M. Brasch proves he is a master of the literary vignette as he meticulously builds a scenario of greed, corruption, and intrigue, set against the backdrop of social protest between 1964 and Jan. 15, 1991, the day before Operation Desert Storm. Unraveling the mystery of why others want Apryl's land, Brasch weaves a compelling story of the intersection of history and contem-porary American culture and values, every bit as powerful and timely today as it was more than two decades earlier.
