"The collection addresses several issues that are currently very
important growth areas in scholarship: protest movements, their
transnational connections, the question of
Americanization/Westernization in Europe, and the 1960s/1970s in
general as an important watershed in postwar history...There have
been other recent works that have focused on these issues, but this
collection has the advantage of being truly transatlantic in its
approach and in the inclusion of some of the most interesting
younger scholars working in the field." . Ronald Granieri,
University of Pennsylvania
"This tantalizing volume explores the neglected impact of
intercultural exchanges during the 1968 generational rebellion by
focusing on German-American transfers of critical ideas, protest
practices and feelings of solidarity. It especially emphasizes the
close connection between freeing personal life-styles and
liberating politics at home and abroad." . Konrad Jarausch,
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the Zentrum fuer
Zeithistorische Forschung in Potsdam
"This wonderfully innovative compilation of scholarly articles
and participant recollections tackles the multifaceted transfer of
ideas and people between West Germany and the United States to shed
new light on 1960s protests and their long afterlife." . Uta G.
Poiger, University of Washington
A captivating time, the 60s and 70s now draw more attention than
ever. The first substantial work by historians has appeared only in
the last few years, and this volume offers an important
contribution. These meticulously researched essays offer new
perspectives on the Cold War and global relations in the 1960s and
70s through the perspective of the youth movements that shook the
U.S., Western Europe, and beyond. These movements led to the
transformation of diplomatic relations and domestic political
cultures, as well as ideas about democracy and who best understood
and promoted it. Bringing together scholars of several countries
and many disciplines, this volume also uniquely features the
reflections of former activists.
