Student Power, Democracy and Revolution in the Sixties (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781527569287)

This book uses humour and personal insight to weave tales, analysis, and history in this insider account of an enlightened populist student movement. The students involved took their citizenship seriously by asking the authorities who they were benefiting and who they were ignoring. They altered the prevailing culture by asking, â oewhy not do something different⠝?

Unlike other books on the Sixties, this book shows how predominantly working middle-class white students in a very conservative region initiated radical changes. They ushered in a new era of protecting women and minorities from discriminatory practices. This vivid account of bringing conservative students around to support social justice projects illustrates how step-by-step democratic change results in reshaping a nationâ (TM)s character.

Across the globe, students are seeking change. In the US, over 80 percent believe they have the power to change the country, and 60 percent think theyâ (TM)re part of that movement. This bookâ (TM)s portrayal of such efforts in the Sixties will inspire and guide those students.
