Reviews

"A rich and compelling volume... [M]akes an important contribution to scholarship on '1968,' and it is very teachable." - Daniel A. Segal, Munroe Center for Social Inquiry, Pitzer College "The Long 1968 makes an important contribution to our understanding of politics and social life over four decades after the revolutionary fervor of 1968. As a complex, overlapping series of reflections on the impact of '68 in a present moment characterized by political apathy, cynicism, paralysis, and even despair, the volume is especially welcome. For those readers still committed to the possibility of political and social transformation, the volume offers both a sobering assessment of the differences between 'then' and 'now' and an intriguing invitation to reclaim the 'spirit of '68' for creative interventions in the present. The volume's temporal and geographical scope is one of its greatest strengths, as is the interdisciplinary range of its approaches to a 'long 1968' whose legacy reverberates around the world... The volume is sophisticated enough for an audience of specialists but also will be accessible to non-specialists. It will be especially valuable in upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in history; cultural studies; women's and gender studies; science and especially technology studies; French, Latin American, and African studies; art history; and media studies. This combination of range and sophistication is an impressive achievement." - Lynne Huffer, Emory University
