The anti-authoritarian revolt of the 1960s and 1970s was a
watershed in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany. The
rebellion of the so-called '68ers' - against cultural conformity
and the ideological imperatives of the Cold War, against the
American war in Vietnam, and in favor of a more open accounting for
the crimes of the Nazi era - helped to inspire a dialogue on
democratization with profound effects on German society. Timothy
Scott Brown examines the unique synthesis of globalizing influences
on West Germany to reveal how the presence of Third World students,
imported pop culture from America and England, and the influence of
new political doctrines worldwide all helped to precipitate the
revolt. The book explains how the events in West Germany grew out
of a new interplay of radical politics and popular culture, even as
they drew on principles of direct-democracy, self-organization and
self-determination, all still highly relevant in the present day.
