Download Utopia and Dissent: Art, Poetry, and Poltics in California from rapidshare, mediafire, 4shared. Combining intellectual and cultural history, it traces the spread of ideas developed in California's pre-World War II bohemian enclaves to mainstream America, where they became a major current of 1950s and 1960s counterculturism.
The provincial nature of California's prewar arts institutions, Richard CAndida Smith shows, fostered an aesthetics stressing personal expression and the exploration of life's mysteries through creativity. These ideas found expression in the beat generation's soul-searching and informed a decade-long debate about conformity.
