What is The Global Imagination of 1968 : Revolution and Counterrevolution about?

With discussions of more than 50 countries, Katsiaficas articulates an understanding of the 1960s' social struggles not bound by national or continental divides nor focused on famous individuals. From the Prague revolt against Soviet communism to the French May uprising, the Vietnam Tet offensive, African anticolonial insurgencies, the civil rights movement, and campus eruptions in Latin America, Yugoslavia, and the United States, this book portrays the movements of the '60s as intuitively tied together. Student movements challenged authorities in almost every country, giving the insurgency a global character. As uprisings occur with increasing frequency in the 21st century, the lessons of 1968 provide useful insights for future struggles. ** Review “A well informed survey of the global ‘New Left’ of 1968.” —Eric Hobsbawm, author of  The Age of Extremes: A History of the World, 1914–1991 “This is the best book on the New Left, the only truly global history that historicizes the social movements of the Sixties. It is both a cautionary tale and a guide for dark times that require imaginative resistance. This new edition could not have come at a better time.” —Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, a
