197190102New York: Meridian Books 1971. First Meridian Printing. Trade paperback. Fair. 9 399 7 pages. Some pages torn. Notes. From Back Cover - "When we began this book. it was with the idea of explaining a generation at war with its elders. Adults we knew- colleagues friends parents parents of our students - were angered and baffled by young people by their marches and slogans their clothes and hair even their music. We thought to explain the history of that war to illustrate the unequal terms of the conflict to persuade adults that it was not a contest between generations but of values. Perhaps we thought in optimistic moments we might even convince adults that the values of their children are ones they share or might want to share." "What began in the early sixties as protest or pleas for social change has as we enter the seventies become a test of power. All over America the lines are being drawn." Paul Lauter and Florence Howe were both heavily involved in both education and social change. This led them to join Mississippi in the freedom schools to the SDS and to Resist and the New University Conference. Paul Lauter is A. K. & G. M. Smith Professor of Literature Emeritus at Trinity College. He was president of the American Studies Association and won many awards from the academic associations including the Modern Language Association's Francis March Award for Distinguished Service to the Profession of English Studies and the Working-Class Studies Association's Lifetime Achievement Award. Lauter applied what he had learned in the movements to reconstruct ideas about which writers mattered—women as well as men minorities as well as whites. The conflicts of the Sixties fractured the nation and remain a central fault line in American culture half a century later. In Our Sixties Paul Lauter chronicles his participation - as activist organizer and educator - in the "Movement" events of the period including Mississippi Summer the Selma-Montgomery March draft-card burnings the Pentagon demonstration and the founding of The Feminist Press. Social history as well as personal account Our Sixties speaks to those who recall that turbulent decade as well as those wishing to understand its impact on American politics and society today. Derived from americanarchivedotorg - During the 1960s protest movements proliferated in high schools and college campuses across the United States. Among many causes student activists sought to further the goals of the African American Civil Rights Movement to end United States military involvement in Vietnam to abolish ROTC programs on college campuses and to protest police brutality. Protesters utilized a variety of tactics to achieve their goals including sit-ins mass protests strikes speeches and even violence. These efforts often provoked harsh responses from university administrators and the police. Student activism reflected broader cultural conflicts surrounding issues such as Civil Rights the Vietnam War and the counterculture of the 1960s. As the decade progressed these conflicts grew increasingly divisive and violent. Meridian Books paperback

193574982New York: Henry Harrison 1935. First edition. Octavo. 64 pp. Publisher's black cloth with silver spine and cover lettering. original dust jacket in a cobweb design. Small chip to lowerr spine but a gorgeous copy of the book in an intriguing dust jacket.Laid in is a contemporary press photograph of the author with text below reading - "Florence Ripley Mastin whose book of poems "Cables of Cobweb" has just been published by Harry Harrison. The jacket carries praises of her work by Harriet Monroe Eunice Tietjens and Charlotte Dean poetry editor of the New York Times.Between roughly 1900 and 1967 the year before she died at age 81 Florence Ripley Mastin published probably hundreds of poems in newspapers and magazines including more than 90 in the New York Times alone. She authored several books of poetry and her work appeared approximately a dozen times in Poetry between 1918 and 1935. Mastin’s timing was lucky and unlucky. She was brash and butch and she loved women—one woman especially—but she died one year before the Stonewall riots. She was not a great poet but she was lucky enough to be writing in a time where poetry was published in almost every daily newspaper and commissioned for just about every public ceremony.Mastin’s entire working life was spent at Erasmus Hall High School in the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn where she taught English and poetry writing for more than 40 years. She must have stood out in the halls with her short haircut and eclectically mannish sartorial style but she was adored. Grace Beatrice MacColl Mastin’s partner of some 50 years was a fellow teacher at Erasmus" Poetry Foundation Henry Harrison hardcover
