Book Synopsis
"A really interesting and provocative take on 1968. This book addresses the truly global dimensions—and the unexpected, often long-term consequences—of that year of protest. It's an original and highly usable comparative history sure to attract student interest." —Peter N. Stearns, George Mason University

Trade Review
"Protests in the Streets takes an exciting approach to the history of the Sixties. Illuminating connections and comparisons, Elaine Carey and her fellow contributors reveal the many global dimensions of "1968." Even episodes we think we know, such as the events in Paris and Prague, are reframed in terms of wider struggles in the black Atlantic and other "springs" in the socialist world. Students will be attracted by the clear narratives, intrigued by the accompanying documents and images, and moved by the examples of young people from the no longer distant past as they grapple with their own roles in the once again turbulent present."
—Ian Christopher Fletcher, Georgia State University
