Sticking It To The Man - Pop, Protest and Black Fiction of the Counterculture 1964-75 by Ian McItyre

From Civil Rights and Black Power to the New Left and Gay Liberation, the 1960s and 1970s saw a host of movements shake the status quo. The impact of feminism, anti-colonial struggles, wildcat industrial strikes, and anti-war agitation were all felt globally. With social strictures and political structures challenged at every level, pulp and popular fiction could hardly remain unaffected. Feminist, gay, lesbian, Black and other previously marginalised authors broke into crime, thrillers, erotica, and other paperback genres previously dominated by conservative, straight, white males. For their part pulp hacks struck back with bizarre takes on the revolutionary times creating vigilante driven fiction that echoed the Nixonian backlash and the coming conservatism of Thatcherism and Reaganism. From the late 1950s onwards, Sticking It to The Man tracks the changing politics and culture of the period and how it was reflected in pulp and popular fiction in the US, UK, and Australia. This 2012 LedaTape Organisation Paperback is in very good condition. Remains of a water stain on the cover.
