Student Protest (eBook, ePUB)

The Sixties and After

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A fresh look at the causes, course and consequences of student activism across the world since the 1960s. Starting with the familiar - often romanticised - Sixties themselves, the book goes on to examine more recent, and hazardous, examples of student activism, particularly in China, Korea and Iran. The treatment is level headed and analytical rather than celebratory, as it compares these movements and asks what they achieved. Contributors to the 18 case studies include sociologists, anthropologists, political scientists as well as historians.
