All Power to the Imagination! is a history of the countercultures immensely influential role in West German cultural and political life. Sabine von Dirke opens with an examination of nascent countercultural movements in West Germany during the 1950s. She then moves to a nuanced account of the student movement of the 1960s, describing its adaptation of the theories of Marcuse, Adorno, and Benjamin, then recounting its attack on bourgeois notions of the autonomy of art and culture. She next examines the subsequent development of a radical aesthetic and the effects of leftwing terrorism on Germanys political climate. Later chapters focus on die tageszeitung, the ecology movement, and the rise of the Green Party.Von Dirke concludes by asking whether the evolution that this book tracesfrom Marxistinfluenced critiques of culture and society to more diverse, less doctrinaire leftwing positionsrepresents progress or a betrayal of radical ideals. An ambitious study of the German left, this book is an important contribution to our understanding of postwar European history.
