The Global 1960s presents compelling narratives from around the
world in order to de-center the roles played by the United States
and Europe in both scholarship on, and popular memories of, the
sixties. Geographically and chronologically broad, this volume
scrutinizes the concept of "the sixties" as defined in both Western
and non-Western contexts. It provides scope for a set of analyses
that together span the late 1950s to the early 1970s. Written by a
diverse and international group of contributors, chapters address
topics ranging from the socialist scramble for Africa, to the
Naxalite movement in West Bengal, the Troubles in Northern Ireland,
global media coverage of Israel, Cold War politics in Hong Kong
cinema, sexual revolution in France, and cultural imperialism in
Latin America. The Global 1960s explores the contest between
convention and counter-culture that shaped this iconic decade,
emphasizing that while the sixties are well-known for liberation,
activism, and protest against the establishment, traditional
hierarchies and social norms remained remarkably entrenched.
Multi-faceted and transnational in approach, this book is valuable
reading for all students and scholars of twentieth-century global
history.
