'This extraordinary collection is a game-changer. Featuring the
cutting-edge work of over forty scholars from across the globe, The
Routledge Handbook of the Global Sixties is breathtaking in its
range, incisive in analyses, and revolutionary in method and
evidence. Here, fifty years after that iconic "1968," Western
Europe and North America are finally de-centered, if not
provincialized, and we have the basis for a complete remapping, a
thorough reinterpretation of the "Sixties."' -Jean Allman, J.H.
Hexter Professor in the Humanities; Director, Center for the
Humanities, Washington University in St. Louis 'This is a landmark
achievement. It represents the most comprehensive effort to date to
map out the myriad constitutive elements of the "Global Sixties" as
a field of knowledge and inquiry. Richly illustrated and
meticulously curated, this collection purposefully "provincializes"
the United States and Western Europe while shifting the loci of
interpretation to Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America.
It will become both a benchmark reference text for instructors and
a gateway to future historical research.' -Eric Zolov, Associate
Professor of History; Director, Latin American & Caribbean
Studies, Stony Brook University 'This important and wide-ranging
volume de-centers West-focused histories of the 1960s. It opens up
fresh and vital ground for research and teaching on Third, Second,
and First World transnationalism(s), and the many complex
connections, tensions, and histories involved.' -John Chalcraft,
Professor of Middle East History and Politics, Department of
Government, London School of Economics and Political Science 'This
book globalizes the study of the 1960s better than any other
publication. The authors stretch the standard narrative to include
regions and actors long neglected. This new geography of the 1960s
changes how we understand the broader transformations surrounding
protest, war, race, feminism, and other themes. The global 1960s
described by the authors is more inclusive and relevant for our
current day. This book will influence all future research and
teaching about the postwar world.' -Jeremi Suri, Mack Brown
Distinguished Chair for Leadership in Global Affairs; Professor of
Public Affairs and History, The University of Texas at Austin As
the fiftieth anniversary of 1968 approaches, this book reassesses
the global causes, themes, forms, and legacies of that tumultuous
period. While existing scholarship continues to largely concentrate
on the US and Western Europe, this volume will focus on Asia,
Africa, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe. International scholars
from diverse disciplinary backgrounds explore the global sixties
through the prism of topics that range from the economy,
decolonization, and higher education, to forms of protest,
transnational relations, and the politics of memory.
