Add to basketHistoric anthology of student radicalism in the 1960's: includes articles by Noam Chomsky and Paul Goodman. Of additional interest, Dennis Lee (Alligator Pie) has an article called, "Getting to Rochdale," which describes his moment of truth when, in the middle of a graduate seminar on Yeats, the university revealed itself to him as a fraud, as in not really what it claimed to be about (a place of liberal education). As he puts it, "It was this shift of focus that had stymied me for so long-- the shift to recognising that the university was functioning quite adequately, but in a different educational universe from the one that I thought it occupied. I had kept on asking why no one had shot the puck but it was easy: we were all playing basketball." He goes on to explain how that moment eventually took him to Rochdale, an alternative university. Takes you back. I didn't ever know a lot about Rochdale, being at McGill I had a hard time seeing anything in Toronto as interesting. It was a time of an amazing receptivity to alternative thinking, but we were victims of lots of narrowminded contempt of the "other," all the same. Regardless, I think we can all be glad that Dennis Lee didn't devote his life to the publication of critical essays on Yeats and the enjoyment of tenure. ;-> This book is a bit yellowed and grubby, has no reading creases, fos on ffep and originally retailed for 2 bucks in the U.S. Possible first copyright 1968.
