Description
From the mid-1960s to the early 1970s, revolutions in theory, politics, and cultural experimentation swept around the world. These changes had as great a transformative impact on the right as on the left. A touchstone for activists, artists, and theorists of all stripes, the year 1968 has taken on new significance for the present moment, which bears certain uncanny resemblances to that time. The Long 1968 explores the wide-ranging impact of the year and its aftermath in politics, theory, the arts, and international relations-and its uses today.
Reviews / Votes
Bringing together the fields of visual culture, art history, film and media studies, philosophy, and history, The Long 1968 illuminates the often-overlooked histories of 1968. . . . [T]he diverse sources and methodologies makes this a welcome addition that encourages further avenues of research. * The Journal of American History * [T]he thorough descriptions in the very useful introduction and the internal coherence of each section of the book [and] the wide-ranging selections are quite navigable. There are pieces of interest here to scholars working in any of the areas these essays engage, particularly those teaching social movements, transnationalism, performance, representation, and cultural politics.Winter 2015 * Register of the Kentucky Historical Society *All prices
