About The Book
From the ancient Greek symposia to Gertrude Stein’s famous Paris gatherings, salons have always been the incubators of provocative-at times even dangerous-ideas: the frontiers of cultural change. People who might elsewhere have been socially ostracized were included in salons, welcomed for their wit, intelligence, charm, and insight. And passionate conversation often led to passionate action.
In 1991″ Utne Reader” launched a salon renaissance all over North America when it featured a cover story on salons. The response to the article was staggering, leading “Utne” to organize a National Salon Association that quickly drew over 20,000 members. Conceived and written by the folks at “Utne,” “Salons” is the quintessential authority on the subject, demonstrating that joining or starting your own salon is just a living room away.
“Salons” offers a fascinating history of the salon and supplies all the tools readers need to join or start a group of their own. Variations on the salon theme are explored, from studious book clubs and book circles to creativity salons, and finally online saloning. A closing chapter looks at salons as bedrocks for activism and institutions for keeping social consciousness alive for the long-haul.
