- Summary:
- 1968 saw protest movements in Prague, Paris, Berlin, Rome and many other places across Europe, and today stands as the defining year in a tumultuous period for the continent. This groundbreaking book serves as a concise reference on the intellectual avantgardes, counter-cultures, and protest movements of the 1960s and 1970s in Western and Eastern Europe. It traces the history of the various protest movements and the plethora of national experiences with respect to domestic and transnational cultures of dissent, the transnational aspects of these movements, and the common narratives and cultures of memory surrounding them.
