It provides scope for a set of analyses that together span the late 1950s to the early 1970s. 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Global 1960s explores the contest between convention and counter-culture that shaped this iconic decade, emphasizing that while the sixties are well\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"Our memory of the 1960s, unlike the events of the decade itself, has been provincial, focusing on a rather small number of activist groups and urban centers. And yet, from the most intimate forms of sexuality to the most public of geopolitical transformations, this was a period of global entanglement and exchange. This outstanding collection of essays show how a truly global account can enrich our understanding of the 1960s by placing themes of transnational circulation, international organization, and decolonization at the center of the story.\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJames Chappel, \u003ci\u003eDuke University, USA\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eList of figures\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eList of contributors\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Tamara Chaplin and Jadwiga E.
