About this Item

XIV + 585 + (1) PAGES. THIS IS A DOUBLEDAY ANCHOR ORIGINAL PAPERBACK PUBLICATION. THE STUDENT REVOLT THAT BEGAN IN SEPTEMBER 1964 ON THE CAMPUS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA IN BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA LASTED UNTIL JANUARY 1965. THE STUDENT PROTESTS WERE PERHAPS A MAJOR BEGINNING BY THE YOUTH OF AMERICA TO ACTIVELY REBEL AGAINST RIGID AUTHORITY WHETHER IT BE IN A SCHOOL OR AT A NATIONAL POLITICAL LEVEL. IT MAY HAVE BEEN A MAJOR CONTRIBUTION TO THE COUNTERCULTURE MOVEMENT THAT SWEPT COLLEGE CAMPUSES IN THE LATE 1960'S. JERRY RUBIN WAS SWEPT INTO A LEADERSHIP ROLE IN BERKELEY. HIS PROTEST AT A STUDENT SIT-IN RESULTED IN A TRIAL AND CONVICTION OF BEING A PUBLIC NUISANCE AND HE RECEIVED A 45 DAY SENTENCE. JERRY RUBIN BECAME A FOUNDING MEMBER ALONG WITH ABBIE HOFFMAN OF THE "YOUTH INTERNATIONAL PART" (YIPPIE) THAT PLAYED AN IMPORTANT PART IN THE SUBSEQUENT PROTESTS AND CONFRONTATIONS AT THE 1968 DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION IN CHICAGO.
