"both a visual treat and an edifying look at alternative visual culture." –
Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW
"A terrific appraisal of culture's gypsies, tramps and thieves, worthy of the editors' judgment: Obituaries for bohemia have, in short, always been premature.""–
Kirkus Reviews "Engaging, informative and inspiring." JOE SACCO, author of
Palestine "Great introduction to an American century of influences, individuals and scenes producing ideas for the future to engage." SARAH SCHULMAN, author of
The Gentrification of the Mind: Witness to a Lost Imagination "Words become graphic, and the graphics bring Bohemia alive in this wonderful history compiled by Buhle and Berger. There is nothing worse than being severed from one's own roots, as demonstrated by decades of identity movements; there is nothing worse than being stripped of one's heritage, unless it's the theft of identity by thieving oppressors. This graphic anthology beautifully reconstructs the roots of America's counter-culture from the lost stories of men and women, black and white, gay and straight, who were the original refuseniks of Bohemia. I can't wait for more." Tom Hayden, author of
The Long Sixties, former State Senator and leader of Sixties peace, justice and environmental movements
