ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"A bold x-ray about counterculture movements in Mexico, in the voice of one of its greatest figures. One hundred and ninety pages filled with wild stories of rebellion, ingenuity, impropriety, rampage, lucidity, art, literature, drugs, punks, darks, Mexican hippies, cholos, gangs, sex, and rock 'n' roll. But above all, [this book] vindicates the dignity of disagreeing with 'power' and the validity of that entelechy called 'counterculture.'" --Carlos Martnez Rentera, excerpt from the prologue

Mexican counterculture traverses several genres, covering the great movements and the most important counterculture manifestations our country has seen, such as pachucos, existentialists, teen gangs, and rock 'n' roll. In this hallucinating work, the author also gives account of the youthful expressions that influenced music, literature, theater, movies, graphic art, television, and publications.

The reader will find outstanding tools to analyze reality, as well as indispensable data to read and understand the times and the different manifestations that confronted mainstream culture.
