The Global 1960s - Tamara Chaplin - Bog

The Global 1960s presents untold narratives from around the world in order to de-center the roles played by the United States and Europe in both scholarship on, and popular memories of, the sixties. Written by a diverse and international group of contributors, chapters address topics ranging from the socialist scramble for Africa, to the Naxalite movement in West Bengal, the Troubles in Northern Ireland, global media coverage of Israel, Cold War politics in Hong Kong cinema, sexual revolution in France, and cultural imperialism in Latin America. Multi-faceted and transnational in approach, this book is valuable reading for all students and scholars of twentieth-century global history.
