Description

Detroit 67 is the story of Motor City within the year that changed the whole thing. Twelve chapters take you on a turbulent year-long journey through the drama and chaos that ripped through the city in 1967 and tore it apart in personal, political and interracial disputes. It’s the story of Motown, the break-up of The Supremes and the damaging disputes on the heart of probably the most successful African-American music label ever. Set against a backdrop of urban riots, escalating war in Vietnam and police corruption, the book weaves its way through a year when soul music came of age and the underground counterculture flourished. LSD arrived within the city with hallucinogenic power and local guitar band MC5 – self-styled holy barbarians of rock – went to war with mainstream The us. A summer of street-level insurrection turned Detroit into one of the notorious cities on this planet, known for its unique creativity, its unpredictability and self-lacerating crime rates. The year 1967 ended in social meltdown, rancour and intense legal warfare as the complex threads that held Detroit together after all unravelled.
