However, during the 1960s, '70s, and '80s, diverse radical affinity groups, underground subcultures, and student protest movements proclaimed their connections to surrealism. \u003ci\u003eRadical Dreams \u003c\/i\u003eargues that surrealism was more than an avant-garde art movement; it was a living current of anti-authoritarian resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing perspectives from scholars across the humanities and, distinctively, from contemporary surrealist practitioners, this volume examines surrealism's role in postwar oppositional cultures. It demonstrates how surrealism's committed engagement extends beyond the parameters of an artistic style or historical period, with chapters devoted to Afrosurrealism, Ted Joans, punk, the Situationist International, the student protests of May '68, and other topics. Privileging interdisciplinary, transhistorical, and material culture approaches, contributors address surrealism's interaction with New Left politics, protest movements, the sexual revolution, psychedelia, and other subcultural trends around the globe. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA revelatory work, \u003ci\u003eRadical Dreams\u003c\/i\u003e definitively shows that the surrealist movement was synonymous with cultural and political radicalism. It will be especially valuable to those interested in the avant-garde, contemporary art, and radical social movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the editors, the contributors to this volume include Mikkel Bolt Rasmussen, Jonathan P.
