Book review: reframing 1968: American politics, protest and identity edited by Martin Halliwell and Nick Witham

Edited by Martin Halliwell and Nick Witham, the collection Reframing 1968: American Politics, Protest and Identity offers a volume of essays exploring the social and cultural currents that contributed to the making of a defining year in an iconic decade. The volume’s robust investigation of the socio-economic dimensions of power and protest complicates and enhances our understanding of 1968 as a unique and contested moment in US and global history, writes Jeff Roquen.
