British Student Activism in the Long Sixties

Based on empirical evidence derived from university and national archives across the country and interviews with participants, this volume reconstructs the world of university students in the 1960s and 1970s. Student accounts are placed within the context of a wide variety of primary and secondary sources from across Britain and the world, making this project the first book-length history of the British student movement to employ literary and theoretical frameworks which differentiate it from most other histories of student activism to date.
