Book First Edition
Softcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. In 1968, Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz became a founding member of the early women's liberation movement. Along with a small group of dedicated women, she produced the seminal journal series, No More Fun and Games. Her group, Cell 16 occupied the radical fringe of the growing movement, considered too outspoken and too outrageous by mainstream advocates for women's rights.Dunbar-Ortiz was also a dedicated anti-war activist and organizer throughout the 1960s and 1970s. During the war years she was a fiery, indefatigable public speaker on issues of patriarchy, capitalism, imperialism, and racism. She worked in Cuba with the Venceremos Brigade, and formed associations with other revolutionaries across the spectrum of radical and underground politics, including the SDS, the Weather Underground, the Revolutionary Union, and the African National Congress. But unlike the majority of those in the New Left-young white men from solidly middle-class suburban families-Dunbar-Ortiz grew up poor, female, and part-Indian in rural Oklahoma, and she often found herself at odds not only with the ruling class but also with the Left and with the women's movement.Dunbar-Ortiz's odyssey from dust-bowl poverty to the urban radical fringes of the New Left gives a working-class, feminist perspective on a time and a movement which forever changed American society."Roxanne Dunbar gives the lie to the myth that all New Left activists of the 60s and 70s were spoiled children of the suburban middle classes. Read this book to find out what are the roots of radicalism-anti-racist, pro-worker, feminist-for a child of working-class Okie background."-Mark Rudd, SDS, Columbia University strike leaderRoxanne Dunbar-Ortiz is a historian and professor in the Department of Ethnic Studies at California State University, Hayward. She is the author of Red Dirt: Growing up Okie, The Great Sioux Nation, and Roots of Resistance, among other books.

Book First Edition
Softcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. In a Different Light documents a landmark exhibition at the University Art Museum, and features curatorial essays, over 100 reproductions of all the artwork in the exhibition, and a selection of fiction, personal essays, rants, and image-text projects on the power of visual culture. This book explores the resonances of gay, lesbian and queer experience in American culture, particularly in the past thirty years.In a Different Light engages a range of queer issues, aesthetic concerns, and formal styles. Instead of inquiring "What does lesbian or gay art look like?" the curators ask: "How are queer artists looking at the world?" This is the first time that a major American museum has considered this important subject in a broad cross-generational context. The inclusion of literary work in the context of this exhibition catalog brings into focus the relationships between artists and writers in lesbian and gay culture, the interaction of genres and media in these representations, and the impact of visual culture - the arts, popular iconography, advertising, and style - on the formation of identity.

Book
Softcover. Condition: Good. In his memoir Coming Unbuttoned (1993), Broughton recounts his childhood, reflects on his work, and remarks on his love affairs with both men and women.Among his male lovers were gay activist Harry Hay and publisher Kermit Sheets. In 1962, Broughton married Suzanna Hart. The couple was divorced in 1978. On Christmas Eve 1976, Broughton celebrated his relationship with artist Joel Singer in a marriage ceremony. Eschewing the labels homosexual, heterosexual, and bisexual, the poet and filmmaker describes himself as a "pansexual androgyne."This witty and impudent confession is the work of a cultural pioneer whose adventures among the famous and the infamous extend from New York circles of the '30s to the avant-garde antics of San Francisco in the '60s and '70s. Born a gleeful poet in a solemn family, James Broughton survived military school, Stanford University, the merchant marine and journalism before his passion for cinema and his dedication to poetry crystallized in 1948 with his first book and the first of his many films. In the '50s he worked in London and Paris; and for many years he occupied a special place in the San Francisco Bay Area as a performer, playwright and professor.In "Coming Unbuttoned" Broughton shares intimate memories of Anais Nin, Alan Watts, Robert Duncan, Maya Deren, Jean Cocteau, W.H. Auden, Pauline Kael, Kenneth Rexroth, Robinson Jeffers, and the poets of the Beat Generation.

Softcover. Condition: Good. Subsequent. James Broughton, with life partner, Joel Singer, created some of the most avant-garde films of the 1950s, 60s & 70s and fathered a child with legendary film critic, Pauline Kael. He was a "Walt Whitman of film" and received the American Film Institute Lifetime Achievement award in 1989. No discussion of the spirituality of film and cinema can be complete without his contributions being taken into consideration.Making Light of It, Broughton's book on filmmaking, first appeared from City Lights in 1977 under the title "Seeing the Light." Rewritten, with a new title, this book appeared again from City Lights in 1992.This new version began with a glance at Dante's Vita Nuova: "On a foggy morning in 1946 Sidney Peterson took me to an abandoned cemetery in San Francisco where I discovered a new life." As he did with everything, Broughton constantly mythologizes cinema, seeing it in relationship, not only to himself, but to various worlds and contexts.

Book
Softcover. Condition: Good. From Kirkus Reviews The Astrolabe Of The Sea ($10.95 paperback original; Sept. 1996; 128 pp.; 0-87286-314-X): From Nadir (``the pseudonym of a well- known North African writer,'' now living in France): an enigmatic metafiction, volume one of a projected trilogy, in which the title object (a nautical instrument of calculation), recovered after centuries from the ocean depths by a shipwrecked sailor, ``tells'' a series of Oriental-flavored tales that mingle allegorical moralizing about endangered Arab cultures with racy, florid, anecdotes about ``giant bats, evil ogres and voracious succubi.'' Neither the glimpsed presence of a hovering film crew nor the character of the ``novel's'' apparent protagonist is convincingly integrated into the fabric of a surpassingly strange work whose intentions we may hope will be clarified when said trilogy is completed. -- Copyright 1996, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved. Product Description The Astrolabe of the Sea-a work of beauty, originality, and universal outlook-is part ancient fable, part contemporary ironic narrative. A mysterious astrolabe that unfolds "the fabric of dreams" to all who gaze upon it was once consigned to the depths of the sea by a Persian king who did not want men "to forget the weight of the concrete and the empire of the real." Centuries later, it is found by a castaway navigator, who is captivated by its stories that combine elements from the realm of myth and dreams, conjuring up a world where the imagination holds sway.Yet also unfolded from the fabric of these revisited ancient tales is a procession of allegories reflecting the present stresses of an Arab world torn between an impossible fidelity to the past and its difficult position on the cutting edge of the most vital debates of the day. In this first volume of a classic trilogy, Nadir combines a contemporary, emergent postmodern vision with the rich poetic tradition of the Arab and Mediterranean worlds.

Softcover. Condition: Good. F First Paperback Edition Used. The mystic's moment of illumination shares with great poetry the liberating power of the deepest levels of consciousness. In the words of William Blake, "If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to a man as it is, infinite."Poetry, Wilson argues, is a contradiction of the habitual prison of daily life and shows the way to transcend the ordinary world through an act of intense attention-and intention. The poet, like the mystic, is subject to sudden ""peak experiences"" when ""everything we look upon is blessed."" W.B. Yeats, Dostoevsky, Gautama Buddha, Kazantzakis, Van Gogh, Rupert Brooke, Arunja, Nietzsche, A.L. Rouse, Jacob Boehme, Suzuki, Edgar Allan Poe: their visionary understanding can generate an awareness in each of us of our potential to open the floodgates of inner energy that creates mystic experience.Colin Wilson first received international acclaim in 1956 for The Outsider. ""Ever since I was thirteen, I have been obsessed by the question of the nature of mystical experience,"" he writes, and from that time he has been on a quest of the mystical in poetry, religion, and psychology.
