Description

Downtown Pop Underground is a thrilling artistic history of New York City's vibrant cultural scene in the 1960s and early 70s. Kembrew McLeod takes a kaleidoscopic tour of the city's alternative worlds, exploring how deeply interconnected they were in one square mile of downtown. This book brings to life the beat artists, filmmakers, musicians, and drag queens who created change and broke down cultural divisions between high and low, gay and straight, and art and commerce. The book is fueled by the actual voices of many pivotal characters who shaped American Bohemia, and whose impact is still felt today. With a focus on the interconnected worlds of downtown, this book offers a fresh perspective on the city's rich cultural heritage.
