Featuring striking images of twentieth-century icons, such as Janis
Joplin, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Timothy Leary, Allen Ginsburg,
Grace Slick, and others, The Haight is an indispensable gallery of
legendary photographer Jim Marshall's iconic sixties-era San
Francisco photography--now available in a smaller, easy-to-carry
size perfect for students, tourists, and other readers on-the-go.
The counterculture movement of the 1960s is one of the most
continually fascinating and endlessly examined milestones of the
twentieth century. The footprint of that movement reverberates
strongly today in music, fashion, literature, art, and society as a
whole. Widely regarded as the cradle of revolution, California's
Haight-Ashbury grew in the sixties from a small neighborhood in San
Francisco to a worldwide phenomenon--a concept that extended far
beyond the boundaries of the street intersection itself. Jim
Marshall visually chronicled the neighborhood as perhaps no one
else did. Renowned for his powerful portraits of some of the
greatest musicians of the era, Marshall covered Haight-Ashbury with
the same unique eye that allowed him to amass a staggering archive
of music photography and Grammy recognition for his lifework. In
this one-of-a-kind book, the full extent of Marshall's
Haight-Ashbury archive is stunningly displayed; powerful candids,
intimate portraits, and images of live concerts, street scenes,
crash pads, alleyways, and the Human Be-In are collected in the
definitive photographic record of a watershed moment in time.
Featuring hundreds of striking images of icons, ranging from Jimi
Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Bill Graham, Grace Slick, and the Jefferson
Airplane to the Beatles, Allen Ginsberg, Timothy Leary, and Bob
Dylan, The Haight tells the complete and comprehensive story of the
street, creative, cultural, and revolutionary aspects of the day.
Written by best-selling San Francisco music journalist Joel Selvin,
the story behind each and every one of these incomparable images is
disclosed through an intimate and revealing narrative, lending the
images a fascinating context and perspective. Bold and beautifully
crafted, The Haight captures the full scope and nuance of
Marshall's San Francisco photography and offers fresh insight into
the Summer of Love, Haight-Ashbury, and beyond.
