Toward a More Perfect Rebellion

"Josslyn Luckett's lovingly detailed history of UCLA's Ethno-Communications Program (1969-1973) will permanently alter the way '1970s film' is understood and taught. It also makes a definitive case for approaches to cultural history that do not replicate siloed racial logics but are attentive to racial/ethnic/gender intersections and alliances."--Gayle Wald, Professor of American Studies, George Washington University, author of It's Been Beautiful: "Soul!" and Black Power Television

"A brilliant, long-overdue account of UCLA's legendary Ethno-Communications Program and the multiracial 'New Los Angeles' it radically envisioned, between the insurrectionist fires of 1965 and 1992, in contrast to its more prestigious peers of New Hollywood. A must-read for independent media artists and activists and their ardent communities."--Glen Mimura, author of Ghostlife of Third Cinema: Asian American Film and Video
