West Germany and the Global Sixties: The Anti-Authoritarian Revolt, 1962-1978 examines the upheaval of "1968" in West Germany from a fresh perspective. In contrast to existing studies that tend to focus narrowly on the politics of the student movement around the high point of 1967-68, the study encompasses the full panoply of cultural influences in the arts and the counterculture, from the early sixties to the late seventies. Transnational in focus, the study shows how global influences—from international popular culture to the concrete presence of left-leaning Third World students—helped shape West German events, even as West German activists, responding to Germany's unique past, imagined themselves into a global present.
