About this Item
Original handbill. 27.8 x 21.6 cm., masthead in facsimile holograph outline titles with two line-drawn decorations, typed text with holograph strapline, mimeographed in black on white paper stock. N.p. [New York City], United Front Against Imperialism, n.d., c. 1971. £35.00 Endemic browning, shabby edges with small closed tears and creased corners. Very rare in both commerce and institutions with no copies on OCLC. The clue to the origins of this group is in the mimeographed Black Power fists on the masthead. The Front seems to have been made up of revolutionary Afro-American cadres located a few blocks away from Tompkins Square Park. They rail against the profits made by Big Business from drugs in extensis, the destruction of community life and the cityscape and their divisive affects. The then Governor Rockefeller and Mayor Lindsay's attempts to swap custodial sentences for drug rehab and methadone programmes are rejected as 'phoney' and the answer to drugs is armed revolution. The Black Panthers argued much the same in earlier printed works such as Capitalism Plus Dope Equals Genocide" . The Search For Soma, Julio Mario Santo Domingo and his LSD Library. 72.
