Sixties Europe examines the border-crossing uprisings of the 1960s
in Europe on both sides of the Cold War divide. Placing European
developments within a global context formed by Third World
liberation struggles and Cold War geopolitics, Timothy Scott Brown
highlights the importance of transnational exchanges across bloc
boundaries. New Left ideas and cultural practices easily crossed
bloc boundaries, but Brown demonstrates that the 1960s in Europe
did not simply unfold according to a normative western model.
Everywhere, innovations in the arts and popular culture synergized
radical politics as advocates of workers' democracy emerged to
pursue longstanding demands predating the Cold War divide. Tracing
the development of a distinctive blend of cultural and political
activism across diverse national settings, Sixties Europe examines
an important, historically-recent attempt to address unresolved
questions about human social organization that remain relevant in
the present, and it offers an original history of Europe across a
transformative decade.
