The Holy Barbarians Lawrence Lipton 1959 HC 1st Ed. History Sociology 20th Century - R9

Mr. Lipton's book is the first complete and unbiased survey of the beat generation and its role in our society. Here are the intimate facts about these people and their attitudes-toward sex, dope, jazz, art, religion, parents, landlords, employers, politicians, draft boards, the law and, most important, toward the "square". The author presents a picture of their way of life, their individual backgrounds, the language they have appropriated, in terms made clear for the first time to those of us who have been confused and puzzled about them. He also provides a balanced discussion of their literature, art and music, of what they produce and fail to produce in the arts they practice.
The beat world--holy in its search of self, barbarian in its total rejection of the so-called "civilized" standards of success and morality. Lawrence Lipton's fascinating book is one of the first complete, unbiased studies of the strange, important offshoot of society.
The Holy Barbarians is a book written by Lawrence Lipton that explores the Beat Generation of the 1950s. The book focuses on the lives of the poets, artists, and musicians who were part of this movement, including Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, and Neal Cassady. Lipton provides a detailed account of their unconventional lifestyles and the impact they had on American culture. He also examines the social and political context in which the Beat Generation emerged, including the Cold War and the rise of consumerism. The Holy Barbarians is considered a seminal work on the Beat Generation and has been praised for its vivid portrayal of the era.

“My poetry is, or should be, useful to me for one reason: it is the record of my individual struggle from darkness towards some measure of light”
