Paperback. Condizione: Good. This account charts the remarkable rise of communalism in the 60's and 70's, as thousands turned their backs on their assigned roles in order to build another world together, outside the state and the market. Using memoir and flashbacks, oral history and archival sources, the extraordinary quest to find an alternative to the traditional nuclear family and the consumptive way of living is richly illuminated. With a focus on the San-Francisco bay area, an important aspect of social history is here made relevant to the current generation.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In the shadow of the Vietnam War, a significant part of an entire generation refused their assigned roles in the American century. Some took their revolutionary politics to the streets, others decided simply to turn away, seeking to build another world together, outside the state and the market. West of Eden charts the remarkable flowering of communalism in the 1960s and 70s, fueled by a radical rejection of the Cold War corporate deal, utopian visions of a peaceful green planet, the new technologies of sound and light, and the ancient arts of ecstatic release. The book focuses on the San Francisco Bay Area and its hinterlands, which have long been creative spaces for social experiment. Haight-Ashburys gift economyits free clinic, concerts, and street theatreand Berkeleys liberated zonesSproul Plaza, Telegraph Avenue, and Peoples Parkwere embedded in a wider network of producer and consumer co-ops, food conspiracies, and collective schemes.Using memoir and flashbacks, oral history and archival sources, West of Eden explores the deep historical roots and the enduring, though often disavowed, legacies of the extraordinary pulse of radical energies that generated forms of collective life beyond the nuclear family and the world of private consumption, including the contradictions evident in such figures as the guru/predator or the hippie/entrepreneur. There are vivid portraits of life on the rural communes of Mendocino and Sonoma, and essays on the Black Panther communal households in Oakland, the latter-day Diggers of San Francisco, the Native American occupation of Alcatraz, the pioneers of live/work space for artists, and the Bucky dome as the iconic architectural form of the sixties. Due to the prevailing amnesiapartly imposed by official narratives, partly self-imposed in the aftermath of defeatWest of Eden is not only a necessary act of reclamation, helping to record the unwritten stories of the motley generation of communards and antinomians now passing, but is also intended as an offering to the coming generation who will find here, in the rubble of the twentieth century, a past they can useindeed one they will needin the passage from the privations of commodity capitalism to an ample life in common. This account charts the remarkable rise of utopian communalism in the 60's and 70's, as thousands rejected the traditional ways of living as laid out by the state and the market economy.
