In these pages, Malina wrestles with the company's artistic and political efforts during a moment of societal crisis and grapples with their future. Kate Bredeson's introduction contextualizes Malina's life and work in this period, while additional historical context and never-before-published photographs add new detail and depth to a stirring account of American social and political history. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Diaries of Judith Malina\u003c\/i\u003e is a four-volume set that publishes for the first time together the edited diaries of radical theater director, actor, and activist Judith Malina from 1947 to 1971, the most influential period of her remarkable and storied career. A committed anarchist and pacifist, Malina made theater as a way to engage in revolutionary action. Her diaries showcase her political and social observations, her cultural commentary, her self-reflection, and her wit. This expertly prepared set invites us to recognize Malina for her accomplishments not only as an artist and an activist but as one of the great literary diarists.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Northwestern University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56672957759832,"sku":"9780810149472","price":33.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780810149472_aadce45b-3a16-4861-8892-cfb5b35d47f4.jpg?v=1780118166","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/diaries-of-judith-malina","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
