    The Dialectics of Liberation

Edited by David Cooper <http://www.versobooks.com/authors/1931-david-cooper>
A revolutionary compilation of speeches which produced a political
groundwork for many of the radical movements in the following decades
The Congress of the Dialectics of Liberation, held in London in 1967,
was a unique expression of the politics of modern dissent, in which
existential psychiatrists, Marxist intellectuals, anarchists, and
political leaders met to discuss the key social issues of the following
decade. Edited by David Cooper, this volume compiles speeches by Stokely
Carmichael, Herbert Marcuse, R. D. Laing, Paul Sweezy, and others. The
collection explores the roots of violence in society.

Against the backdrop of rising student frustrations, racism, class
inequality, and environmental degradation, this conference aimed to
create genuine revolutionary momentum by fusing ideology and action on
the levels of the individual and of mass society. These speeches clearly
indicate the rise of a new, forceful, and (to some) ominous style of
political activity.
