Around 1968: Activism, Networks, Trajectories
Primary tabs
Grant Holder:
Professor Robert Gildea
This is a study of militants, the networks they constructed and the trajectories they followed in Europe between 1965-75. It is a collective project, undertaken by 14 historians, 7 based in the UK, 7 outside. It is based on archival work and the collection of oral testimony from a sample of networks and activists involved in them in each country. It explores in a comparative way issues of generational identity, political and lifestyle activism, and combines subjective understanding of militancy with the search for transnational links between militants through emigration and political exile, militant 'tourism' in the Third World, and international networks.
