Here are the transnational threads of hope and possibility desperately needed in an era of neoliberalism' -- Robyn C. Spencer, CUNY, author of The Revolution Has Come: Black Power, Gender, and the Black Panther Party\u003cbr\u003e'The many revolts and uprisings of 1968 have frequently been told through narratives which have depoliticised them. This valuable collection of original documents and writings reasserts the diverse forms of radicalism and struggles for radical change in this pivotal year. It's a significant resource for hope and struggle' -- David Featherstone, School of Geographical and Earth Sciences, University of Glasgow, and author of Solidarity: Hidden Histories and Geographies of Internationalism\u003cbr\u003e'Here are voices from the marvellous year of 1968, as they spoke then.
