The Left in the 1960s and 1970s has a powerful, almost mythical,
place in the history of the 20th century. It was during these
decades that the radical Left managed to renew the language of
socialism as an alternative to communism and liberalism alike, but
also when radicalism often led to extremism and social movements
turned into political sects. Focusing on the Left in Denmark and
Sweden during those turbulent decades, this study pays close
attention to the political language in the two countries and shows
the constant challenge to the concepts of the Left in the face of
rapid social, cultural and political changes. The precarious
relationship between the Left and the nation serves as a starting
point for the exploration of the development of the New Left after
the break with communism, the subsequent student revolts and
radicalization of the late 1960s until the movement s apparent
collapse at the end of the 1970s. This book illustrates the
challenges the Left was facing in its attempt to articulate a
credible political language at a time of social, cultural and
political transformation. Thomas Ekman Jorgensen received his PhD
from the European University Institute in Florence, Italy, in 2004.
He has published a number of articles on the left in the 1960s and
1970s, on comparative European history and on youth movements
around the Great War. In 2008, he published 1968 og det der fulgte
(1968 and that which came after) together with Steven L. B. Jensen.
He presently lives and works in Brussels, Belgium."
