| Summary: | The assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert Kennedy. Gay rights, women's rights and civil rights. The Black Panthers and the Vietnam War. The New Left and the New Right. 1968 was a tumultuous year for US politics. Fifty years on, 'Reframing 1968' explores the historical, political and social legacy of 1968 in modern protest movements. Fourteen interdisciplinary essays look at how protest has changed in the United States, from Students for a Democratic Society and the Civil Rights Movement in the late 1960s, to the Women's Movement in the 1970s, through to the contemporary visibility of the Tea Party and the Occupy movement. |
