Summary

The Sixties are being examined, researched, studied and debated, everywhere. Universities hold international conferences that bring together scholars, teachers, and veteran activists, and those now involved in the world-wide alternative to the globalization movement. The sheer volume of books, articles and periodicals dealing with this decade, in any number of countries, is staggering, yet very little has been published about the Sixties in Canada. This volume is meant to close that gap.
