Beat generation writers dismantled mainstream America. They wrote
under the influence of psychedelic drugs; they crossed and
navigated multicultural boundaries and questioned the American
dream; and they explored homosexuality, feminism and
hyper-masculinity, redefining America's marital and familial codes.
Teaching such a history can be daunting, but film adaptations of
Beat literature have proven to engage students. This book looks
closely at the film adaptations of works by such authors as Jack
Kerouac, Neal Cassady, Allen Ginsberg, Gary Snyder, Carolyn
Cassady, Amiri Baraka and Lawrence Ferlinghetti, as they relate to
American history and literary studies.
