A New Dawn for the New Left: Liberation News Service, Montague Farm, and the Long Sixties

'This book contributes significantly to moving beyond dead-end narratives of 'the Sixties' by demonstrating real continuities of activism stretching into 'the Seventies' (whatever one thinks those are) and the 1980s. Beyond that, it does something that few historians of the New Left have ventured: connect the social spaces and cultural habits of the hard core counter-culture to actual left organizations and real debates.'-Van Gosse, author of Rethinking the New Left 'In this extraordinary undertaking, Blake Slonecker brings to life a theme that has long been understated in our historical literature. With meticulous research and engaging prose, he shows how the New Left's utopian strivings and vigorous politics outlived the Sixties and thrived in the Seventies. This is a path-breaking book by a promising and energetic young historian. It is also a lot of fun to read!'-John McMillian, author of Smoking Typewriters: The Sixties Underground Press and the Rise of Alternative Media in America
