And yet there has been no comprehensive objective history of Greenpeace's origins-until now.Make It a Green Peace! draws upon meeting minutes, internal correspondence, manifestos, philosophical writings, and interviews with former members to offer the first full account of the origins of what has become the most recognizable environmental non-governmental organization in the world. Situating Greenpeace within the peace movement and counterculture of the 1960s, Frank Zelko provides a much deeper treatment of the group's groundbreaking brand of radical, media-savvy,direct-action environmentalism than has been previously attempted. Zelko traces the complex intellectual and cultural roots of Greenpeace to the various protest movements of the 1950s and 1960s, highlighting the influence of Quakerism-with its practice of bearing witness-Native American spirituality, and thenon-violent resistance of Gandhi. Unlike the more strait-laced, less confrontational Sierra Club and Audubon Society, early Greenpeacers smoked dope, dropped acid, wore their hair long, and put their bodies on the line-interposing themselves between the harpoons of whalers and the clubs of seal-hunters-to save the animals and achieve what they hoped would be a lasting transformation in the way humans regarded the natural world. And while it may not have achieved its most revolutionary goals,Greenpeace inarguably created a heightened awareness of environmental issues that endures to this day.Narrating the key campaigns and arguments among the group's early members, Make It a Green Peace! vividly captures all the drama, pathos, and occasional moments of absurd comic relief of Greenpeace's tumultuous first decade. 606 $aEnvironmental protection$xPolitical aspects 606 $aAntinuclear movement$xHistory 606 $aEnvironmentalism$xHistory 606 $aCounterculture$xHistory 615 0$aEnvironmental protection$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aAntinuclear movement$xHistory. 615 0$aEnvironmentalism$xHistory. 615 0$aCounterculture$xHistory. 676 $a333.72 700 $aZelko$b Frank S$01519603 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779571603321 996 $aMake it a green peace$93757818 997 $aUNINA
