Notes from the Underground: 77 Articles That Bring the Past to Life

Notes From the Underground: 77 Articles That Bring the Past to Life is a collection of author Thorne Dreyer’s writing from 1966 to the present. Earlier work is taken from the 60s and 70s underground press – The Rag in Austin, Liberation News Service, and Space City! in Houston. The articles demonstrate the power of participatory journalism. Dreyer’s later writing reflects on the cultural and political upheaval of earlier decades and sheds light on contemporary issues.
