Following the convulsions of 1968, one element uniting many of the
disparate social movements that arose across Europe was the pursuit
of an elusive "authenticity" that could help activists to
understand fundamental truths about themselves-their feelings,
aspirations, sexualities, and disappointments. This volume offers a
fascinating exploration of the politics of authenticity as they
manifested themselves among such groups as Italian leftists, East
German lesbian activists, and punks on both sides of the Iron
Curtain. Together they show not only how authenticity came to
define varied social contexts, but also how it helped to usher in
the neoliberalism of a subsequent era.
