Mercer opens up the narrative of '68' as it has been written and rewritten, contemporaneously across weeks and month - and ultimately across decades - challenging simple terms of 'successes' and 'failures'.' Belinda Davis, Rutgers University 'An ambitious, original and subtle investigation of the student movement in three European universities - Nanterre, Trento and the Free University of Berlin - which sheds new light on questions of political and cultural democratisation in the 1960s. Just when you thought that there was nothing new to say about 1968, Ben Mercer makes this must-read intervention.' Robert Gildea, University of Oxford 'A thoughtful analysis of student protest around 1968 in three major Western European countries. Mercer's comparative study will be a welcome addition to many syllabi on the Global 1960s and essential reading for students and scholars of democratization after 1945.'
