AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Australia never proved fertile territory for the notorious “underground” newspapers of the United States and Europe in the “long” 1960s: from Texas’ Rag to the Berkley Barb, London’s Black Dwarf and Paris’ Tout. Instead, Australia’s young radicals appropriated often quite staid campus newspapers and transformed them into means of political and cultural agitation. Sally Percival Wood’s Dissent does a splendid job in bringing these publications to light, demonstrating their roles in pushing envelopes in areas like censorship, sex, the Vietnam war, women’s and Indigenous rights as the nation grappled with a crisis of post‐colonial identity.'
