{"product_id":"9781137529138","title":"Transnational Protest, Australia and the 1960s","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAustralia is rarely considered to have been a part of the great political changes that swept the world in the 1960s: the struggles of the American civil rights movement,\u003cbr\u003e student revolts in Europe, guerrilla struggles across the Third World and demands for women’s and gay liberation. This book tells the story of how\u003cbr\u003e Australian activists from a diversity of movements read about, borrowed from,\u003cbr\u003e physically encountered and critiqued overseas manifestations of these rebellions,\u003cbr\u003e as well as locating the impact of radical visitors to the nation. It situates\u003cbr\u003e Australian protest and reform movements within a properly global – and particularly Asian – context, where Australian protestors sought answers,\u003cbr\u003e utopias and allies. Dramatically broadens our understanding of Australian protest movements, this book presents them not only as manifestations of local issues and causes but as fundamentally tied to ideas, developments and personalities overseas,\u003cbr\u003e particularly to socialist states and struggles in near neighbours like\u003cbr\u003e Vietnam, Malaysia and China.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47011993747696,"sku":"9781137529138","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781137529138_p0.jpg?v=1763699081","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781137529138","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
