Mug Shots; Who's Who In The New Earth

Raeanne Rubenstein

5/5 ( ratings)

Mug Shots is a book about the alternate culture. Here are over 200 biographies, with photos and drawings of people who proposed to supplant--in one way or another--the existing way of life in America with a culture less rigid, less materialistic, less self-consuming--but above all, more enjoyable.

Many of our most creative, dedicated, and humane people can be found here. But most are regarded as social outlaws , and many have been jailed. And, of course, there are those in this country who would like to see the whole bunch locked up. Hence the title: Mug Shots. For the book is, in establishment terms, a rogue's gallery.

There are certainly those in this book who would object to being classified, in any sense as members of the same group. It's hard to imagine Eldridge Cleaver and Andy Warhol as being terriby fond of each other, or the Angels of Light and the Weatherpeople sharing the same stage. But they are all a part of the overall picture of the alternate culture.

What emerges is a revolution in progress that is political, economic, and socal--and serious. But it is also overwhelmingly eccentric, anarchic, and original--in a word, personal.
