"THIS EDITION OF HEADPRESS HAS BEEN APPROPRIATED BY THE HEADPRESS PANTHERS" The batton of the White Panthers is now in the hands of Headpress. John Sinclair, one of the founder members of the White Panthers political party in 1968, is the editor of Headpress 28. Mr Sinclair, a Detroit poet, one-time manager of the band MC5, became the focus of the counterculture and international media when John Lennon named a song after him and joined Stevie Wonder for a benefit concert to free him from jail. Headpress 28 marks the fortieth anniversary of the original White Panthers movement and heralds the launch of the HEADPRESS PANTHERS and THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO UNPOPULAR CULTURE, which fully endorses and supports the White Panther Party's 10-Point Program. We shall promote: Total assault on the culture by any means necessary Free exchange of energy and minerals Free land Free bread Free time and space for slow time/space travel (space permitting) Free structures free from floors between twelve and fourteen and no thirteen numbered rooms Free all prisoners everywhere

A work of fact, fiction, fable and folklorespanning three generations of southern Italian family life."Europe ends at Naples and ends badly.Calabria, Sicily and all the rest belong to Africa." - CreuzÃ© de Lesser, 1806No geographical map distinguishes Montefalcione as being different from any number of isolated mountain villages in southern Italy. It has ancient customs and its own saints and feast days, like other villages.Yet Montefalcione in Campania is the setting for a unique meditation on family and the Italian Diaspora, reconstructing three generations of village life through myth, superstition, and the anecdotal history of the author's own family.The drama unfolds amidst a landscape of peasant riots, vicious landlords, religious festival, feuds, the collapse of the Fascist party, and the tarantella - a world lost to the changing face of the twenty-first century.

Mezzogiorno: Life. Death. Southern Italy.

Community & Culture

Released in 1993, the original edition of Killing for Culture was a sensation, becoming as much a cultural bookmark as a cultural document. Two decades later it remains the seminal exploration of images of death and violence and the human obsession with looking at them. Since then, however, the world it surveyed has drastically changed, due in large part to the growth of the Internet. Along with many exclusive interviews, this new edition of Killing for Culture has been comprehensively revised and updated to reflect the upsurge of these disturbing yet compelling images.
