Foreword by Lucy Sante

Jean-Pierre Laffont's deeply personal photobook on a formative period of American history, when the counterculture ignited a series of cultural revolutions that still shape our lives. The first French photographer to dedicate his life to documenting America from the 1960s to the 1980s, Laffont arrived in the United States in 1964 as an immigrant with a camera, which let him document up close a youth-driven insurrection born of growing opposition to capitalism and materialism. Over one hundred and fifty photographs make up a kaleidoscopic celebration of rebellions, from the Vietnam War protests and the civil rights movement to women's liberation, the LGBTQ+ movement, hippies, religions and gangs.

ABOUT

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.
