Description
Book SynopsisThough we think of the 1960s and the early '70s as a time of radical social, cultural, and political upheaval, we tend to picture the action as happening on campuses and in the streets. Yet the rise of the underground newspaper was equally daring and original. This title pays homage in its design to the radical press.
Trade Review"Before there was the Internet and desktop publishing, there was the under-ground press-a rich, irreverent source of information, opinion, and outrageousness that is all too difficult to access today. With Power to the People, Geoff Kaplan has brought together a rowdy and stimulating collection of design from the 1960s and '70s that will be an inspiration and an indispensable resource to anyone who wants to speak out in the twenty-first century." -David Joselit, Yale University"
