This book assesses the emergence and transformation of global
protest movements during the Vietnam War era. It explores the
relationship between protest focused on the war and other
emancipatory and revolutionary struggles, moving beyond existing
scholarship to examine the myriad interlinked protest issues and
mobilisations around the globe during the Indochina Wars. Bringing
together scholars working from a range of geographical,
historiographical and methodological perspectives, the volume
offers a new framework for understanding the history of wartime
protest. The chapters are organised around the social movements
from the three main geopolitical regions of the world during the
1960s and early 1970s: the core capitalist countries of the
so-called first world, the socialist bloc and the Global South. The
final section of the book then focuses on international
organisations that explicitly sought to bridge and unite solidarity
and protest around the world. In an era of persistent military
conflict, the book provides timely contributions to the question of
what war does to protest movements and what protest movements do to
war.
