The Beat Generation and Counterculture examines three authors
associated with the «Beat Generation - Paul Bowles, William S.
Burroughs, and Jack Kerouac - and the relevance of their attempt to
travel, learn, and write about exotic non-Western cultures and
repressed minority cultures in the United States, projecting the
influence of history, premodern religious practices, and
postcolonial social and intellectual problems into the written
development of countercultural ethos and praxis. The Beat
Generation and Counterculture underscores T. S. Eliot's emphasis on
«earning tradition - that is, in order for the corrupt, decultured,
and unimaginative West that had been ruined by World War II to
survive, it would have to internalize and project the value of
distant cultures that had been misunderstood and racialized for
centuries. This book also addresses the frequent criticism that
these authors were «orientalist, white writers who freely
translated non-Western culture without giving any credit to its
creators.
