The year 1968 witnessed one of the great upheavals of the twentieth
century, as social movements shook every continent. Across the
Global North, people rebelled against post-war conformity and
patriarchy, authoritarian education and factory work, imperialism
and the Cold War. They took over workplaces and universities,
created their own media, art and humour, and imagined another
world. The legacy of 1968 lives on in many of today's struggles,
yet it is often misunderstood and caricatured. Voices of 1968 is a
vivid collection of original texts from the movements of the long
1968. We hear these struggles in their own words, showing their
creativity and diversity. We see feminism, black power, anti-war
activism, armed struggle, indigenous movements, ecology,
dissidence, counter-culture, trade unionism, radical education,
lesbian and gay struggles, and more take the stage. Chapters cover
France, Czechoslovakia, Northern Ireland, Britain, the USA, Canada,
Italy, West Germany, Denmark, Mexico, Yugoslavia and Japan.
Introductory essays frame the rich material - posters, speeches,
manifestos, flyers, underground documents, images and more - to
help readers explore the era's revolutionary voices and ideas and
understand their enduring impact on society, culture and politics
today.
