Radical Chic & Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers

Tom Wolfe

Language: Unknown

Published: Jan 2, 1970

Description:

The phrase radical chic was coined by Tom Wolfe in 1970 when Leonard Bernstein gave a party for the Black Panthers at his duplex apartment on Park Avenue. That incongrous scene is re-created here in high fidelity as is another meeting ground between militant minorities and the liberal white establishment.
