Description

This book's four main aims are to examine: firstly, why movements happened in the socio-historical context of sixties' radicalism; secondly, its distinctive legacy of crucial, cultural, societal and political interconnections; thirdly, continuing links between seminal ideas and movements and socio-political activism today; fourthly little-discussed national instances and divergent impacts of sixties radicalism, in relation to contemporary 'global' social movements. A conclusion traces all these dimensions from current social movements back to sixties radicalism's pioneering upheavals.



Explores and re-analyses major events, debates and themes from the radical developments of the nineteen sixties and relates them to contemporary social movements and issues.

Reviews

'Recommended.' -R. C. Cottrell, California State University, Chico, in 'Choice'


'This edited collection originated in the British Sociological Conference "1968: Impact and Implications"... The engagement is both critical and sympathetic, and this is refreshing in an area where partisan stances are easily adopted. This book establishes that there was no such event as the 1960s, rather there were multiple mediated social, cultural and political responses to the prevailing changes based in both shared concerns and "difference".' -Ian Welsh, School of Social Sciences, Cardiff University, in 'Social Movement Studies'

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
