{"title":"Power to the People: Counterculture, Social Movements, and the Alternative Press, Nineteenth to Twenty-First Century","authors":"Matt Gallagher","doi":"10.5260/chara.25.4.09","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5260/chara.25.4.09","url":null,"abstract":"Power to the People: Counterculture, Social Movements, and the Alternative Press, Nineteenth to Twenty-First Century is a Gale database (released in 2023) that documents four distinct primary source collections and three alterative press publications, encompassing ∼600,000 pages\u0000 of material. It is an aptly named database, covering how counterculture activists/organizations and alternative presses shaped the formation of various social movements in the modern United States and United Kingdom. A broad range of ideas and initiatives can be found within the database,\u0000 spanning topics such as gender equality, civil rights, antiwar efforts, labor movements, and environmental justice. It is also important to note that the primary source contributors represent diverse voices, from artists to satirists to grassroots organizers. Highlighting those voices may\u0000 be aligned with broader decolonizing collections efforts underway at some institutions.The four highlighted collections and three alternative press titles include: The Pacific Coast Counterculture Collection (Robert P.J. Cooney, Jr.)\u0000 Special Collections on Peace, Politics, and Social Change, Commonweal Library, University of Bradford Left-wing politics and radical political movement pamphlets, Ron Heisler Collection housed, University of London\u0000 The Liberal Students of the 1960s Collection, University of Michigan Fortean Times (1976‐2020) Bizarre (1997‐2015) \u0000 Viz (1979‐2020) The above grants community members, students, and faculty access to primary source materials that are contextually related yet geographically isolated from each other. Given Gale’s relatively large primary source suite\u0000 of databases, this product complements the overall efforts Gale has made in curating distinct databases that cover relatively focused topics. Being able to cross-search across Gale’s primary source collections through a unified platform adds value to this product, depending on preexisting\u0000 Gale primary source holdings.","PeriodicalId":22397,"journal":{"name":"The Charleston Advisor","volume":"93 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140796309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
