Download or read book West of Eden written by Iain Boal and published by PM Press. This book was released on 2012-04-01 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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-Ashbury’s gift economy—its free clinic, concerts, and street theatre—and Berkeley’s liberated zones—Sproul Plaza, Telegraph Avenue, and People’s Park—were 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 amnesia—partly imposed by official narratives, partly self-imposed in the aftermath of defeat—West 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 use—indeed one they will need—in the passage from the privations of commodity capitalism to an ample life in common.

This book was released on 2019-11-01 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

This literature includes massive amounts of information regarding unheard-of regional hostilities and depredations against the American settlers during this time-frame. 1845-1870 An Untold Story of Northern California also exposes and ties-in certain cultural. religious, and legal functions that solidified the history of what truly happened during Northern California's unstable history! A must-have for students, teachers, and history enthusiasts!

This book was released on 2014-07-08 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New England stagemen followed thousands of bedazzled gold rushers out west in 1849, carving out the first public overland transportation routes in California. Daring drivers like Hank Monk navigated treacherous terrain, while entrepreneurs such as James Birch, Jared Crandall and Louis McLane founded stagecoach companies traveling from Stockton to the Oregon border and over the formidable Sierra Nevada. Stagecoaches hauling gold from isolated mines to big-city safes were easy targets for highwaymen like Black Bart. Road accidents could end in disaster--coaches even tumbled down mountainsides. Journey back with author Cheryl Anne Stapp to an era before the railroad and automobile arrived and discover the wild history of stagecoach travel in California.

Download or read book Humboldt written by Emily Brady and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2013-06-18 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the vein of Susan Orlean's The Orchid Thief and Deborah Feldman's Unorthodox, journalist Emily Brady journeys into a secretive subculture--one that marijuana built. Say the words "Humboldt County" to a stranger and you might receive a knowing grin. The name is infamous, and yet the place, and its inhabitants, have been nearly impenetrable. Until now. Humboldt is a narrative exploration of an insular community in Northern California, which for nearly 40 years has existed primarily on the cultivation and sale of marijuana. It's a place where business is done with thick wads of cash and savings are buried in the backyard. In Humboldt County, marijuana supports everything from fire departments to schools, but it comes with a heavy price. As legalization looms, the community stands at a crossroads and its inhabitants are deeply divided on the issue--some want to claim their rightful heritage as master growers and have their livelihood legitimized, others want to continue reaping the inflated profits of the black market. Emily Brady spent a year living with the highly secretive residents of Humboldt County, and her cast of eccentric, intimately drawn characters take us into a fascinating, alternate universe. It's the story of a small town that became dependent on a forbidden plant, and of how everything is changing as marijuana goes mainstream.
Book Synopsis The Deer Creek Round-Up by : Thomas Burke Orr
Download or read book The Deer Creek Round-Up written by Thomas Burke Orr and published by . This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remembering The Deer Creek Round-Up When I was a kid I discovered a large, and very old, manila envelope tucked away in the back of my Aunt Carol's closet. Inside were photos, letters and financial statements all dating back to the 1920s. Sixty years later that envelop and its contents opened an amazing door into my family's history. The result is this book.The Deer Creek Round-Up really started as the Northern California Round-Up. The Northern California Round-Up Association had it in the back of their mind to promote rodeos throughout northern California. However, it never happened the way they planned and the Deer Creek Round-Up, as it was known to all of the participants and fans, was its only promotion. The story of this amazing rodeo, its roots and its legacy, are documented in the pages of this book. Almost all of what's presented here was taken from that old manila envelope. This rodeo was way ahead of its time; nothing like it had ever been attempted in far northern California. As fate would have it, its greatest accomplishment was setting into motion the wheels that founded the Red Bluff Round-Up.

Book Synopsis Cajun and Zydeco Dance Music in Northern California by : Mark F. DeWitt
Download or read book Cajun and Zydeco Dance Music in Northern California written by Mark F. DeWitt and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Queen Ida. Danny Poullard. Documentary filmmaker Les Blank. Chris Strachwitz and Arhoolie Records. These are names that are familiar to many fans of Cajun music and zydeco, and they have one other thing in common--longtime residence in the San Francisco Bay Area. They are all part of a vibrant scene of dancing and live Louisiana-French music that has evolved over several decades. Cajun and Zydeco Dance Music in Northern California traces how this region of California has been able to develop and sustain dances several times a week with more than a dozen bands. Description of this active regional scene opens into a discussion of several historical trends that have affected life and music in Louisiana and the nation. The book portrays the diversity of people who have come together to adopt Cajun and Creole dance music as a way to cope with a globalized, media-saturated world. Ethnomusicologist Mark F. DeWitt innovatively weaves together interviews with musicians and dancers (some from Louisiana, some not), analysis of popular media, participant observation as a musician and dancer, and historical perspectives from wartime black migration patterns, the civil rights movement, American folk and blues revivals, California counterculture, and the rise of cultural tourism in Cajun Country. In so doing, he reveals the multifaceted appeal of celebrating life on the dance floor, Louisiana-French style.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The premium paper magazine showcases the beauty and diversity of Northern California while offering the reader the opportunity to follow along to some of our scenic towns and nature preserves. Tis magazine has one extra page at the end, but is otherwise the same as the economy paper magazine. Some background information regarding the areas visited, has been included. The magazine consists of 176 pages and countless photographs. It is set up more like a photo book to help keep cost down. The preview only shows 62 pages, chosen at random. It does not have page numbers, though, but generally, the magazine is set up in a way that is it is more of a roundabout trip if you were to follow most of it's contents. Originally it wasn't meant to chronicle the current drought and its impact on some of California's lakes, but since the pictures used in this magazine have been taken over a period of four years, this is just what happened.
