Student movements of the "long 1960s". Steps towards the cultural revolution, social change and political transformation

This work examines a corpus of ten articles on the global student movements which took place throughout the 1960s. The impact of the students' agitation in Argentina, Brazil, Greece, Israel, Slovakia, Spain and the USA, amongst others, is examined from the perspective of history of education, with a view to understanding how the movements arose and developed. The different historical investigations presented herein look at the successes, failures, power relations and actions which, both in education and in politics, aimed to transform the world the protestors saw.
