Miller, James B.
Democracy is in the Streets: From Port Huron to the Siege of Chicago
New York Simon & Schuster; A Touchstone Book 1987 067166235X / 9780671662356 Trade Paperback Very Good
431 pp., [8] leaves of plates, illus., biblio., index; 22 cm. Near fine. Tight, clean copy. Age toning. A New York Times Book Review Notable Book of the Year. Nominated for the 1987 National Book Critics Circle Awards. "On June 12, 1962, sixty young student activists drafted a manifesto for their generation--The Port Huron Statement--that ignited a decade of dissent. Democracy Is in the Streets is the definitive history of the major people and ideas that shaped the New Left in America during that turbulent decade. Because the 1960s generation is now moving into positions of power in politics, education, the media, and business, their early history is crucial to our understanding. James Miller, in his new Preface, puts the 1960s and them into a context for our time, claiming that something of value did happen: "Most of the large questions raised by that moment of chaotic openness--political questions about the limits of freedom, and cultural questions, too, about the authority of the past and the anarchy of the new--are with us still. / James Miller, Professor of Political Science and Director of Liberal Studies at the Graduate Faculty of the New School for Social Research, is the author of The Passion of Michel Foucault and Rousseau: Dreamer of Democracy." - Publisher.

Flowers in the Dustbin: The Rise of Rock and Roll, 1947-1977
New York Simon & Schuster 1999 0684808730 / 9780684808734 First Edition, First Printing Hard Cover Very Good Fine
415 pp., illus., biblio., discography, index; 25 cm. Near fine. Tight, clean copy. Remainder mark/tail edge. Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. "Where did rock and roll come from? And what has it come to? These are the sorts of questions that cultural historian and veteran music journalist Jim Miller raises in his challenging new book about the rise -- and arrested development -- of rock and roll. Concentrating on the music in its early, formative decades, he explores how rock and roll was transformed from a joyous and sometimes earthy dance music in the 1940s into an abrasive, often angry art music by the end of the 1970s. Along the way, he celebrates a culture of youthful exuberance -- and critically analyzes how it was organized into a billion-dollar global industry. Arguing that rock underwent its full creative evolution in little more than twenty-five years, Miller traces its roots from the jump blues of the late Forties to the disc jockeys who broadcast the music in the early Fifties. He shows how impresarios such as Alan Freed and movie directors such as Richard Brooks (in Blackboard Jungle) joined black music to white fantasies of romance and rebellion, then mass-marketed the product to teenagers. Describing how early rock and roll developed as a distinct form of music, he profiles a host of brash innovators: singers like Chuck Berry and Little Richard, songwriters like Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, and British bands like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Chronicling the drug-laced early 'acid tests' of the Grateful Dead, the mixed-media 'happenings' of Andy Warhol and the Velvet Underground, and the utopian atmosphere at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967, Miller describes how the counterculture of the late Sixties, came together -- and then fell apart. Still, it was in these very years that rock and roll proved itself to be the most profitable style of music in the history of show business -- something Miller analyzes by looking at the promotion of rock icons like David Bowie and Bruce Springsteen. At the same time, he candidly recounts how trendsetting performers from Jim Morrison to Sid Vicious of the Sex Pistols became ever more crude and outrageous and ugly -- 'as if to mark the triumph,' Miller remarks, 'of the psychopathic adolescent.' Flowers in the Dustbin is steeped in the history of rock, richly anecdotal and entertaining, yet original in its analysis. Provocative and brilliantly written, it is full of fresh insights that deepen our understanding of rock's place in the social history of our time. / James Miller is director of liberal studies at the Graduate Faculty of the New School. The original editor of The Rolling Stone Illustrated History of Rock & Roll, a principal consultant to the 1995 Warner TV/Time-Life Home Video History of Rock and Roll, and for ten years pop music critic for Newsweek magazine, Miller is also the author of several books, including The Passion of Michel Foucault and 'Democracy is in the Streets,' both finalists for the National Book Critics Circle Award." - Publisher.
