The result greatly expands our knowledge of the insurgency on both sides of the Atlantic that erupted in the 1960s and continued into the 1970s and beyond. It inspires scholars of the U.S. and Europe to rethink the meaning and limitations of the nation, to challenge narrow disciplinary constraints, and to see 1968 as part of a longer history of protest and rebellion across the continent and the world\u003c\/em\u003e.”\u003cb\u003e  ·  \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComparativ.
