Opis

This original analysis of sixties radicalism draws on a wide range of rare and lively sources. Stephens critiques conventional narratives of the era, arguing that the most distinctive forms of sixties protest are often marginalized. She locates postmodern impulses in the protest of the sixties, and challenges the connection often made between the failure of sixties radicalism and contemporary political disengagement. Stephens offers new interpretations of the relationship between the sixties and the current political and theoretical landscape.
