The Hornsey Affair
Condition remarks:
Condition: Good to fair. Jacket: No dust jacket - paperback. Page Condition: Good - possible tanning. Markings: possible previous owner inscription.
A landmark document in the history of British art education, The Hornsey Affair chronicles the dramatic student and staff sit-in at Hornsey College of Art in 1968, one of the most significant acts of institutional rebellion in postwar Britain. Written collectively by those who lived it, the account presents a vivid, firsthand testimony of the six-week occupation that shook the foundations of art education and ignited a national debate about creativity, bureaucracy, and democratic reform. The book argues passionately for a radical restructuring of educational institutions, drawing on the energy and idealism of the wider global protest movements of the era. Raw, urgent, and deeply political, it remains a vital primary source for understanding the cultural and educational upheavals of the 1960s.
