In 2007 and 2008 he will be actively participating in all the relevant conferences, serving on the editorial board of the journal "The Sixties", and co-ordinating a massive network of scholars working on European protest movements. The book is organized to give a look at this period that is unusual in its geographic and thematic comprehensiveness.A concise reference for researchers on the protest movements of the 1960s and 1970s, this book covers the history of the various national protest movements, the transnational aspects of these movements, and the common narratives and cultures of memory surrounding them.
