Description of The Imagination of the New Left.

Delineates the global turmoil of 1968, including: The Prague Spring; the student movements in Mexico, Japan, Sri Lanka, Italy, Yugoslavia, and Spain; The Tet Offensive in Vietnam and guerrilla movements in Latin America; the Democratic Convention in Chicago; and the assassination of Martin Luther King.

“[P]resents an understanding of how we on the New Left used our education as a practice of freedoms: confronting the racist, war-mongering status quo with the objective of creative participatory democracy … this insightful analysis provides a useful backdrop for social activism and the struggle for future democratic human rights.”—Bobby Seale, co-founder and former chairman, Black Panther Party
