1968

Slagmarks revolutionsserie

by Laurence Cox (Editor), Bjarke Skærlund Risager (Editor), Salar Mohandesi (Editor)

1968 bød på en af det tyvende århundredes største omvæltninger. 1960'ernes og 1970'ernes sociale bevægelser udfordrede selve grundlaget for efterkrigstidens orden. Selvom arven fra "det lange 1968" lever videre, misforstås og karikeres begivenheden dog ofte. I et forsøg på at undgå misforståelser og karikaturer og at forstå den vedvarende betydning af 1968 bedre udforsker denne bog æraens revolutionære ideer og praksisser ved at gå direkte til de tekster, bevægelsernes selv producerede. Bogen samler og introducerer mere end 80 taler, manifester, øjenvidneberetninger, plakater med mere fra 12 forskellige lande.

Reviews

[Karlo Mikhail · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wonderful collection of documents, complete with an insightful introduction and situationer per country on the long 1960s in the Global North.

[Matthew · Rating 3 out of 5]

An interesting collection that gives a good general round-up of groups and movements that existed in the global north around the '68 moment, and the editors do a good job with their introductions. However, due to the nature of some of the texts and their formats, it could be a little dull at points.
