Random House USA Inc Trip
Book SynopsisPart memoir, part history, part journalistic exposé, Trip is a look at psychedelic drugs, literature, and alienation from one of the twenty-first century''s most innovative novelists--The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test for a new generation. A Vintage Original.While reeling from one of the most creative--but at times self-destructive--outpourings of his life, Tao Lin discovered the strange and exciting work of Terence McKenna. McKenna, the leading advocate of psychedelic drugs since Timothy Leary, became for Lin both an obsession and a revitalizing force. In Trip, Lin''s first book-length work of nonfiction, he charts his recovery from pharmaceutical drugs, his surprising and positive change in worldview, and his four-year engagement with some of the hardest questions: Why do we make art? Is the world made of language? What happens when we die? And is the imagination more real than the universe?In exploring these ideas and detailing his ex

Cambridge University Press The Power of Place
Book SynopsisRiots, strikes, and protests broke out in the streets of Shanghai and Bombay (renamed Mumbai in 1995), with impressive frequency during the twentieth century. Many of the landmark protests and social movements had close connections with the neighborhoods, workplaces, and civic space of each city. By the late twentieth century, as the political geography of each city changed rapidly with the commodification of urban land, so too did the patterns of political contention. Using a comparative historical lens, Frazier chronicles the political biographies of these two metropolises and leading centers of manufacturing and finance. Debates over ideology, citizenship, and political representation took material form through clashes over housing, jobs, police violence, public space, among much else, in the lived experience of urban residents. Frazier puts contemporary debates over informal housing, eviction of inner-city residents, scarcities of manufacturing jobs, and questions of unequal citizeTrade Review'Frazier reveals the power of a closely-studied, empirically-based and controlled comparison of two of Asia's 'maximum' cities over the last century. It makes for a fascinating read and embodies the best in the burgeoning field of Sino-Indian studies.' Prasenjit Duara, Oscar L. Tang Family Professor of East Asian Studies, Duke University, North Carolina'This impressive book is a tour de force account of the convergences and divergences that underpin collective protest in two of the world's great megacities: Shanghai and Mumbai. The book views contentious politics in both port cities through a comparative lens that will make scholars working on either of the two cities see them in new ways.' Prashant Kidambi, Centre for Urban History, University of Leicester'This remarkable and groundbreaking book examines contemporary Indian and Chinese urban politics and protests through a historical lens and with a focus on twentieth-century Shanghai and Bombay. It is a milestone in the comparative study of southern urbanism and politics.' Fulong Wu, Bartlett Professor of Planning, University College London'... it is worth noting that inasmuch as its empirical richness is a hallmark of Frazier's fine book, it can also present a challenge.' Prerna Singh, Comparative PoliticsTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1. Political geographies and contentious ports; 2. Nationalism and urban social movements, 1919; 3. Containing contention through nationalist movements; 4. In search of the socialist-modernist metropolis; 5. The rebellions of 1966; 6.

Cambridge University Press Student Revolt in 1968
Book SynopsisStudent Revolt in 1968 examines the origins, course and dissolution of student protest at three universities in the 1960s - the Freie Universität Berlin in West Germany, the campus of Nanterre in France, and the Faculty of Sociology at Trento in Italy. It traces how student revolts over space, speech, sociology and cultural democratisation catalysed a dynamic protest movement within universities in the mid-1960s that expanded dramatically beyond the University in 1968. Differing visions of democratisation - mass access to education, the dissolution of high culture, the democratic control of the university - clashed and competed in a radical revaluation of the meaning of university education and democratic culture. The study also evaluates the most ambitious experiments in higher education in the 1960s - the ''Critical Universities'' of West Berlin and Trento - which sought to establish democratic control of higher education before dissolving in the politics of social revolution, and offers a new and clear-sighted perspective on the 1960sTrade Review'Exciting for its transnational approach alongside keen attention to local specifics, Ben Mercer's study explores the widely varied, contradictory, and transforming meanings of democracy and democratization in the student protest in West Berlin, Nanterre, and Trento. Mercer opens up the narrative of '68' as it has been written and rewritten, contemporaneously across weeks and month - and ultimately across decades - challenging simple terms of 'successes' and 'failures'.' Belinda Davis, Rutgers University'An ambitious, original and subtle investigation of the student movement in three European universities - Nanterre, Trento and the Free University of Berlin - which sheds new light on questions of political and cultural democratisation in the 1960s. Just when you thought that there was nothing new to say about 1968, Ben Mercer makes this must-read intervention.' Robert Gildea, University of Oxford'A thoughtful analysis of student protest around 1968 in three major Western European countries. Mercer's comparative study will be a welcome addition to many syllabi on the Global 1960s and essential reading for students and scholars of democratization after 1945.' Anna von der Goltz, Georgetown UniversityTable of ContentsIntroduction: history, myth and memory of 1968; Part I. Education and Culture: 1. The 'devouring monster': the university in the 1960s; 2.

The Politics of Revolt: 5. 'The space of autonomy must be created': the politics of democracy; 6. 'We represent nothing': the crisis of representation; 7. 'We began to talk': the seizure of speech; Part III. Crisis of the University: 8. 'Question, doubt and criticise': free speech at the Free University; 9. 'Student power': Vietnam at Trento; 10.
