Randy Shaw, editor of BeyondChron, lists Ten Years That Shook the City as one of his favorite books of 2011!

Listen to an interview with Chris Carlsson, editor of Ten Years that Shook the City.

Jason Ferreira, contributor to Ten Years That Shook the City, describes how groups like the Black Panthers and the San Francisco Mission-based group Los Siete rejected narrow nationalist conceptions of identity, instead creating cross-racial, Third Worldist communities of resistance in the 1960s and '70s. Editor Chris Carlsson is also interviewed about the book on this program.

"Writer Chris Carlsson's latest work is his edited collection of historical essays called Ten Years That Shook The City: San Francisco 1968-1978. Written by notable figures including Carlsson, the essays explore the extension of the 1960s movement into the '70s."

"Carlsson says Ten Years that Shook the City continues his work 'to counter our amnesiac culture.' More specifically, the book takes on the argument that the 1960s were filled with experiments that didn't work out."
