Offers a state of the art reassessment of the importance and
consequences of the events associated with 1968, the year that
radically influenced the landscape of the post-1945 world. In the
context of the ColdWar, 1968 was a transnational moment of revolt
against the status quo. The essays go beyond the East-West divide
in the process of identifying the common features of the sixties,
and offer a synthesis of approaches, gathering important
re-assessments of the intellectual history of 1968. Some of the
most distinguished scholars of the subject include former
sixty-eighters, who critically re-evaluate the events. The
historical analyses are based on new archival research pursued in a
number of countries. The book gives novel theoretical insights in
the nature and significance of the decade; and integrates 1968 with
its pre-history and aftermath.
