ABSTRACT
The political geographies of 1969 were complex, multi-scalar and inter-related. Back on earth, geographies of political protest were diffusing across borders and boundaries into different contexts. The spaces of political contest were not only international, but also local and often activities at one scale were directly related to activities at another scale. By 1968, the Beatles' music was increasingly scrutinized in terms of political statements. A recording of the concert was subsequently released under the title, "Live Peace in Toronto". As they had with "Acorns for Peace", they made efforts to globalize live performances for peace by planning the largest peace/music festival that would tour globally. The couple's performances linking the process of world peace to the domestic spaces of everyday life have roots in feminist that challenges the public/private spatial dichotomy. In the United States, the boundaries between the civil rights, anti-war, black power, and feminist movements were becoming increasingly permeable.
