"One afternoon in 1975, a young photographer named Hugh Holland drove up Laurel Canyon Boulevard in Los Angeles and encountered skateboarders carving up the drainage ditches along the side of the canyon. Immediately transfixed by their grace and athleticism, he knew he had found an amazing subject. Although not a skateboarder himself, for the next three years Holland never tired of documenting skateboarders surfing the streets of Los Angeles, parts of the San Fernando Valley, Venice Beach, and as far away as San Francisco and Baja California, Mexico"--From publisher's website.

Although not a skateboarder himself, for the next three years Holland never tired of documenting skateboarders surfing the streets of Los Angeles, parts of the San Fernando Valley, Venice Beach, and as far away as San Francisco and Baja California, Mexico. During the mid-1970s, Southern California was experiencing a serious drought, leaving an abundance of empty swimming pools available for trespassing skateboarders to practice their tricks. From these suburban backyard haunts to the asphalt streets that connected them, this was the place that created the legendary Dogtown and Z-Boys skateboarders. With their requisite bleached blonde hair, tanned bodies, tube socks and Vans, these young outsiders are masterfully captured against a sometimes harsh but always sunny Southern California landscape in Locals Only"--Publisher's website.

This collection of essays highlights the variety of 1970's culture, and shows how it responded to the transformations that were taking place in that most elusive of decades. The 1970's was a period of extraordinary change on the social, sexual and political fronts. Moreover, the culture of the period was revolutionary in a number of ways; it was sometimes florid, innovatory, risk-taking and occasionally awkward and inconsistent. The essays collected here reflect this diversity and analyse many...

Durant les années 1970, la vie culturelle connaît à Liège une ébullition extraordinaire. Du Conservatoire à la RTB-Liège, du Cirque divers aux Grignoux et à l'Université, on voit des institutions, des groupes improvisés, des animateurs polariser cette effervescence. Des créateurs apparaissent - Pousseur, Charlier, Lizène, les Dardenne, Delcuvellerie, Houben... - qui déjà marquent l'époque de leur empreinte. Collectif, le présent ouvrage se veut une histoire vivante de cet épisode foisonnant. Il relie celui-ci aux événements sociaux qui ont préparé ou marqué les années en cause. La décennie 1970 s'inscrit à Liège dans la mouvance des grèves de 1960 en Belgique, dans celle de Mai 68 et dans un mouvement de luttes auquel artistes et intellectuels furent associés. Cette décennie peut paraître lointaine. Mais son héritage n'a pas fini d'enrichir la vie culturelle d'aujourd'hui. Ce sont aussi ces transmissions que l'ouvrage interroge.
