Orgasms Of History: 3000 Years Of Spontaneous Insurrection

Description

Every now and then, things explode. Riots, uprisings, revolutions, new and

bizarre social groups spring up seemingly from nowhere. Our standard

histories tend to treat these as oddities, if treated at all, or as

misguided responses to hard times, limited by lack of responsible

leadership. Here''s a People''s History to puncture that balloon. From the

Cynics & Spartacus through the Levelers, Diggers & Ranters to the

Revolution of the Carnation, the San Francisco Diggers, Red Guard of

Shenwulian, Brethren of the Free Spirit, Guevara, the Provos & the

Metropolitan Indians. Nearly 100 episodes of revolt and utopia which popped

up without a plan or a leader from the ancient Greeks to the present.

Fremion lives in Paris where he participated in the May ''68 orgasm.
