Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Previous owner has inscribed and signed half-title page. Pages have sunned.

Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, the Sydney Push was a bohemian and anarchic network encompassing many people from the professions and the arts. To belong, you need an inquiring mind, an adventurous spirit, and the preparedness to spend hours leaning on the bar at the current Push pub.

At its centre were the Sydney Libertarians, who liked the races, a game of cards and plenty of parties just as much as they loved a good argument on the merits of Freud and Reich.

The men and women of the Push were opposed to the State, the Church, the wowsers of the Menzies era, and censorship, and they lived out the sexual revolution a good 15 years before it hit the rest of society. (publisher blur)
