Description
Book SynopsisTouching on the decade's biggest issues, from changing cultural norms to the role of the state, Debating Dissent critically examines ideas of generational change and the sixties.
Trade Review'Debating Dissent should emerge as a preeminent anthology on the sixties for Canadian scholars... Ideal for courses on postwar Canada, social movements, and the sixties themselves...The synergy between established and new scholars makes this a particularly vibrant and valuable contribution.' -- Ian Milligan Canadian Historical Review vol 94:4:2013 'If you are looking for a collection of introductory essays on a broad range of topics on the Canadian 1960s, there is no other book I would recommend ahead of Debating Dissent.' -- Stuart Henderson Histoire sociale / social History vol 47:92:2014 'Scholars who are interested in nuanced analysis of social change in the late twentieth century should read Debating Dissent. Students and a broader non-academic audience will enjoy these histories, too.' -- Nancy Janovicek BC Studies vol 181: Spring 2014
