The legacy of campus unrest continues at the cusp of the 21st century with a new wave of student rebellion at home and abroad. Student Resistance is an international history of student activism. Chronicling 500 years...

Kenneth W. Moffett and Laurie L. Rice find that online forms of political participation--like friending or following candidates and groups as well as blogging or tweeting about politics--draw in a broader swathe of young adults than might ordinarily participate....

By the spring of 1969, Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) had reached its zenith as the largest, most radical movement of white youth in American history - a genuine New Left. Yet less than a year later, SDS splintered into warring factions and ceased to exist. SDS's development and its dissolution grew directly out of the organization's relations with the black freedom movement, the movement against the Vietnam War, and the newly emerging struggle...

"If I Had a Hammer unearths the roots of the counter-culture and political radicalism of the 60s, and shatters the myth of the 50s as a decade of deadening conformity. For the 'Old Left,' the 50s were indeed a decade of defeat and disillusionment, as Maurice Isserman demonstrates through incisive and poignant portraits of aging radicals, including Irving Howe, Norman Thomas, and A.

But when Levine returned...

The phenomenon we called the New Left is over. For something over a decade it flourished and made the Western world livelier and more exciting. Obviously the political left has not ceased to exist entirely. There will always be a left and a right so long as we continue to live by the political terms of the modern world. These terms were established by the French Revolution, that complex upheaval that also marked the emergence of a modern West as we...
