Summer of Love Flashbacks

Today, almost everyone has heard of the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood in San Francisco, California, and the Summer of Love that took place more than fifty years ago. People who were there, who were directly involved in the experience or who witnessed events firsthand will tell you it was a unique episode in American history that can never be repeated. Many young people today around the world want to know more about this revolutionary movement that played such an important role in the psychedelic sixties. We are lucky to have Louis-Bertrand Labeuhe's autobiographical account, for it gives us many insights into a youth culture that rejected the War in Vietnam, establishment values and the Protestant work ethic. Marijuana and psychedelics, Native Americans, rock music and dance concerts, communes, confrontations with local authorities, the Diggers, The San Francisco Oracle, mysticism and expanded consciousness are just a few of the things described in his thought-provoking narrative. Readers who are interested in the life and times of the Haight-Ashbury will want to check out Summer of Love Flashbacks, a candid and often humorous look at the peace and love generation as seen through the eyes of a Hashbury youth.
