Announcing a new series Studies in the Grateful Dead

Edited by NICHOLAS MERIWETHER

Studies in the Grateful Dead explores the musical and cultural significance, impact, and achievement of the Grateful Dead while reinventing the academic and popular discourse devoted to the band. The series establishes the Dead as an anchor for the 1960s counterculture, which proved to be the source of key historical moments that have shaped music, art, film, literature, politics, and philosophy in America ever since. In this way, books in the series will deepen understandings of postwar American culture while providing a full examination of the “afterlife” of the Grateful Dead, with all the seriousness and joy their work deserves.
