 \n> "The overarching theme of peace and social justice will resonate as \n> 
 Americans process its current declaration of war against terrorism. \n> The 
 photographs are poignant records of the passionate beliefs and actions of 
 the times." --Booklist\n> \n>   "A marvelously evocative presentation of a 
 stirring, complex, \n> colorful era which, overall, helped to civilize the 
 society and \n> culture dramatically."--Noam Chomsky\n> \n> "THE WHOLE 
 WORLD'S WATCHING brings the Sixties and Seventies alive. \n> The photos are 
 strikingly dramatic The essays are short, pungent, and\n> \n> wide-ranging 
 as they recall the richness, the cameraderie of those \n> historic 
 struggles for peace and justice."--Howard Zinn, historian \n> and author of 
 A People's History of the United  States\n> \n>   "These photos and 
 narrative capture the spirit of the sixties. The spirit lives."--David 
 Hilliard, Chief of Staff, Black Panther Party\n> \n>    "The photos and 
 text bring forth love and inspiration to my heart and eyes, and inspire not 
 only myself to continued work, but, I hope, younger generations to 
 come."\n>    -Winona LaDuke, Native American activist and Green Party 
 candidate for U. S. Vice President, 2000\n> \n> \n> \n> The book--  \n> The 
 Whole World's Watching is an extraordinary collection of gripping 
 photographs combined with moving and thoughtful commentary by 20 \n> 
 writers. The work documents the rich history of the social movements \n> of 
 the 1960s and 1970s with a focus on the San Francisco Bay Area. \n> 
 Distinguished writers explore the rise of the Black Panthers, the 
 Free-Speech and Anti-war movements, feminism, disability rights, \n> 
 environmental activism, the struggle for gay rights, Cesar Chavez and the 
 United Farm Workers, the American Indian Movement's occupation of Alcatraz 
 and the cultural milieu of the era.\n> \n>   The book includes over 50 
 handsome duotone photographs taken by \n> nearly 30 noted photographers 
 including Jeffrey Blankfort, Nacio Jan \n> Brown, Cathy Cade, Bob Fitch, 
 Robert Hsiang, Ken Light, Richard Misrach, Stephen Shames, Michelle Vignes 
 and Douglas Wachter among others.\n> \n> Powerful essays honor both the 
 larger story and the individual \n> participants of these  movements who 
 had the courage and vision to \n> change history. Pulitzer  prize-winning 
 historian Leon Litwack is \n> among the distinguished contributors to the 
 text. Other notable \n> essayists include Clayborne Carson, historian and 
 editor of the \n> Martin Luther King, Jr. papers at Stanford University, 
 actor Peter \n> Coyote and feminist scholar, Ruth Rosen.\n> \n>   The book 
 accompanies a compelling exhibition of 100 photographs \n> which continues 
 at the Berkeley Art Center September 16, 2001 and \n> will travel  
 throughout 2002 and 2003. By examining the organizations\n> \n> and events 
 that arose in California during this tumultuous period in \n> U.S. history 
 the Berkeley Art Center provides us with a living memory\n> \n> of this 
 important and dramatic era.\n> \n>   This book and the exhibit will serve 
 libraries, schools and anyone \n> who lived through those times or wants to 
 know more about them.\n> \n>    For more information contact: Cathy Sprent
