Making the Scene: Yorkville and Hip Toronto in the 1960s - Henderson, Stuart
Clean, tight, unmarked; very light wear to inside corners; otherwise very minimal wear; spine straight and uncreased; appears unread; During the 1960s, Toronto's Yorkville district attracted thousands of hippies, bikers, artists, musicians, and curious onlookers alike. always a contested space, the neighbourhood served as an island of countercultural vibrancy in the centre of 'Toronto the Good.' it was a kaleidoscopic scene: a music lover's fantasy, a magnet for young drifters, a street theatre, a flashpoint for controversy, a perpetual place where sex was almost as easy to come by as marijuana, speed, and LSD. Critically examining the dramatic story of hip Yorkville's tumultuous years in the spotlight, this book offers new and exciting ways to think about counterculture, dissent, and the construction and performance of 'hip' identities.
