Radical Chic

"The expression 'radical chic' was coined by Tom Wolfe in his essay 'Radical Chic: That Party at Lenny's', published in 1970. Wolfe's satirical text deals with Leonard Bernstein's fundraising party for the Black Panther Party in his 13-room Park Avenue penthouse duplex – shortly after the shooting of the 21 year-old Black Panther-activist Fred Hampton. This is Wolfe's 'funniest and sharpest essay', as critics remark". Johan Frederik Hartle, su eurozine.
