Although the 1960s are overwhelmingly associated with student
radicalism and the New Left, most Canadians witnessed the decade's
political, economic, and cultural turmoil from a different
perspective. Debating Dissent dispels the myths and stereotypes
associated with the 1960s by examining what this era's
transformations meant to diverse groups of Canadians - and not only
protestors, youth, or the white middle-class. With critical
contributions from new and senior scholars, Debating Dissent
integrates traditional conceptions of the 1960s as a 'time apart'
within the broader framework of the 'long-sixties' and post-1945
Canada, and places Canada within a local, national, an
international context. Cutting-edge essays in social, intellectual,
and political history reflect a range of historical interpretation
and explore such diverse topics as narcotics, the environment,
education, workers, Aboriginal and Black activism, nationalism,
Quebec, women, and bilingualism. Touching on the decade's biggest
issues, from changing cultural norms to the role of the state,
Debating Dissent critically examines ideas of generational change
and the sixties.
