While many people think of surrealism as a European artistic movement that flourished between the two world wars, that's actually a very limited understanding. Not only has surrealism continued to the present and taken hold worldwide, but during the 1960s, ’70s, and ’80s, diverse radical affinity groups, underground subcultures, and student protest movements proclaimed their connections to surrealism. Radical Dreams argues that surrealism was actually a living current of anti-authoritarian resistance. The book's chapters are devoted to Afrosurrealism, Ted Joans, punk, the Situationist International, the student protests of May ’68, and other topics.
