{"product_id":"voices-of-1968-documents-from-the-global-north-9780745338095","title":"Voices of 1968: Documents from the Global North","description":"The year 1968 witnessed one of the great upheavals of the twentieth century, as social movements shook every continent. Across the Global North, people rebelled against post-war conformity and patriarchy, authoritarian education and factory work, imperialism and the Cold War. They took over workplaces and universities, created their own media, art and humour, and imagined another world. The legacy of 1968 lives on in many of today's struggles, yet it is often misunderstood and caricatured. Voices of 1968 is a vivid collection of original texts from the movements of the long 1968. We hear these struggles in their own words, showing their creativity and diversity. We see feminism, black power, anti-war activism, armed struggle, indigenous movements, ecology, dissidence, counter-culture, trade unionism, radical education, lesbian and gay struggles, and more take the stage. Chapters cover France, Czechoslovakia, Northern Ireland, Britain, the USA, Canada, Italy, West Germany, Denmark, Mexico, Yugoslavia and Japan. Introductory essays frame the rich material - posters, speeches, manifestos, flyers, underground documents, images and more - to help readers explore the era's revolutionary voices and ideas and understand their enduring impact on society, culture and politics today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Salar Mohandesi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pluto Press (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/20\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.88d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780745338095\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLaurence Cox \u003c\/b\u003eis senior lecturer in sociology at the National University of Ireland Maynooth and coauthor of \u003ci\u003eWe Make Our Own History: Marxism, Social Movements and the Twilight of Neoliberalism\u003c\/i\u003e, also published by Pluto Press. \u003cb\u003eSalar Mohandesi \u003c\/b\u003eis a postdoctoral fellow in History at Bowdoin College and founding editor of \u003ci\u003eViewpoint Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cb\u003eBjarke Skaerlund Risager \u003c\/b\u003eis a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Geography \u0026amp; Planning, University of Toronto.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pluto Press (UK)","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":41180613017715,"sku":"9.78075E+12","price":206.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_f8639646-43fa-40ae-af0b-6a7c30dd8372.jpg?v=1703693358","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/voices-of-1968-documents-from-the-global-north-9780745338095","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
