The Sixties
A Journal of History, Politics and Culture
Aims & Scope
No recent decade has been so powerfully transformative in the United States and much of the world as the 1960s. The era's social movements - from civil rights, to feminism, student and youth protest, environmentalism, and nascent conservativism - dramatically changed the political culture of the developed west. Meanwhile, the decade's decolonization struggles altered the nature and balance of global power. In Communist Europe, incipient democracy movements set the stage for the revolutions that ended the Cold War. Collectively, these movements gave the 1960s their signal identity, and dominate understandings of their historical legacy.
Whether in the United States, or across the globe, no recent decade has had such an enduring grip on politics, culture, and consciousness as the 1960s.
What people are saying about The Sixties:
- Estelle Freedman, Stanford University
"The globe-transforming dramas of the 1960s have become crucial albeit contested reference points in many of the most passionately fought cultural and political wars in our complex 21st-century present. This brilliantly conceived journal comes just at the right moment, providing a fantastic array of deeply researched, innovatively analytic work that helps fill the many gaps in our historical understanding -- and hopefully can suggest new departures for the future as well."
- Dagmar Herzog, Graduate Center, City University of New York
