Curious and very interesting photographic report in Berkeley during the year 1971. Hans Levi took photographs of the street preachers, gathering around them a motley population (sometimes hostile, indifferent or mocking). The author himself writes in the introduction: “these are pictures of a circus. A special kind of human circus”. Any post-hippie era where spiritual desires were going all over the place, especially on the American West Coast.
