Review

"An accessible textbook that summarizes the results of the intensive research of the past couple of years and provides a gateway to information on the various analytical dimensions and national differences of the protest movements . . . With its comprehensive coverage of a broad range of European countries, its analytical focus on transnational connections and the clear and accessible structure of the individual chapters, this book will be core reading for everyone who wants to study contexts, events and the impact of the revolt of 1968.

--The Sixties: A Journal of History, Politics and Culture

"Klimke and Scharloth's contribution has good reasons to stand out from the rest. The first and maybe foremost reason is their ability to facilitate new insights into 'the long 1960s' on the European continent, thus showing us how far we are from exhausting the issue . . . a superb book, both for non-specialists

who want to know about contentious politics in 1960s Europe and researchers of the subject."

--International Review of Social History

"The handbook is particularly interesting for those looking for a quick introduction to the topic or an overview of the most important events."

--Sehepunkte

"1968 in Europe offers an insightful and provocative overview for this turning point in the history of the continent. The book is transnational history at its best--an account of the ideological, social, and political forces across European societies that shook traditional authority structures. The book is also good national history--narrating the key events and transformations in nearly every European society. Scholars and students of postwar Europe will find this book invaluable as a foundational text. It tells the pan-European story of 1968 and opens many new avenues for future research."

--Jeremi Suri, author of Power and Protest: Global Revolution and the Rise of Détente

"This book is a courageous effort to contribute to a new trend in the history of 1968, the study of the transnational aspects of the protest movements. It offers some basis for a comparative history in European perspective, a Europe that embraces both its Western and Eastern parts, while recognising the striking differences between the two and the specificity of national issues. Many national cases are examined, but also transnational movements such as the women's movement and its problematic link to 1968. Thus the dimension of a truly European 1968 emerges against a global background."

--Luisa Passerini (Turin/Florence), author of Autobiography of a Generation: Italy, 1968

用户评价

这本书的叙事角度实在令人耳目一新，仿佛透过一台老旧的、却异常敏锐的摄像机在观察那个沸腾的年代。它没有试图去描绘宏大的历史全景，而是聚焦于那些潜藏在街头巷尾、大学礼堂深处的微观震荡。我尤其欣赏作者如何捕捉到那种**弥漫在空气中、近乎可触碰的焦虑与希望的混合体**。读着那些关于学生运动的片段，我能真切感受到知识分子群体在理想主义与现实铁幕之间的挣扎。那种对既有秩序的质疑，那种对未来世界的蓝图描绘，即便是今天看来，依然充满了原始的生命力。作者的笔触细腻到可以勾勒出柏林墙下咖啡馆里，人们低声交谈时的那种压抑感，以及巴黎五月风暴时，那种一触即发的激情。它不是一本枯燥的史学著作，而更像是一部**情绪饱满的社会侧写**，成功地将读者带回了那个充满矛盾与转折的关键年份，让人不禁反思，我们现在所处的时代，是否只是那场未尽的革命的另一种延伸。

不得不提的是，作者在语言风格上展现出一种**近乎文学化的疏离感**。这使得原本可能沉重的历史事件，被赋予了一种冷静的、近乎客观的审视视角，避免了过度煽情或主观判断。书中对当时流行的艺术思潮和音乐文化的穿插描述，尤其精彩。比如，对特定摇滚乐和地下电影如何成为反抗载体的分析，提供了理解青年文化心态的一个绝佳切口。这种文化层面的剖析，远比单纯罗列政治事件要深刻得多。它揭示了，那一年发生的不仅仅是街头冲突，更是一场**关于“存在方式”的哲学辩论**。这种不直接讲述，而是通过文化侧面烘托出时代精神的做法，非常高明，让读者在阅读历史的同时，也进行了一次**审美和思想上的自我更新**。

这本书的结构安排，有一种**精妙的循环感**。它从一个相对平静的序章开始，逐步将读者卷入漩涡中心，然后在高潮之后，并没有戛然而止，而是用近乎散文诗的方式，描绘了“退潮”后的景象——那些理想主义者如何适应新的生活，或者带着伤痕继续前行。这种收尾方式，避免了传统史书的刻板总结，反而留给读者一个**广阔的、关于“后遗症”的想象空间**。它让我思考，那一年播下的种子，最终以何种面貌，在接下来的几十年里生根发芽，乃至影响了我们今天的生活轨迹。与其说这是一本关于1968年的书，不如说它是一份**关于“未竟事业”的精美档案**，其回响至今不绝。

阅读这本书的过程，像是在进行一次**高强度的智力探险**。它不会轻易给你标准答案，而是不断抛出新的困惑和需要权衡的价值体系。我惊喜地发现，作者对当时欧洲工会运动和劳工阶层诉求的刻画，细致入微，远远超出了通常历史书籍的范畴。那些关于工厂占领、罢工策略的描写，充满了**策略性和现实的血肉感**，而不是空泛的口号堆砌。这种对底层声音的关注，平衡了书中对精英阶层思潮的探讨。它迫使我思考，在宏大的历史叙事中，究竟是思想的先导更重要，还是物质基础的诉求更根本。这本书的价值就在于，它将这两者放置在天平的两端，任由读者去感受那种**永恒的张力与拉扯**。

这本书在处理不同国家间的连锁反应方面，展现出了高超的结构控制力。它没有采用简单的并列叙事，而是巧妙地编织了一条条**若隐若现的意识形态的暗流**，展示了从布拉格之春到意大利“铅色年代”的内在逻辑关联。你能够清晰地看到，当一种声音在某个角落被压制时，它如何在别处找到了新的共鸣点，并以不同的面貌爆发出来。尤其对东欧剧变前夜那种**“冰层下的涌动”**的描绘，力道十足。作者似乎对不同文化背景下，民众对“自由”这个词汇的理解差异有着深刻的洞察。这种差异性的展现，让原本看似是同一主题的运动，在不同地域呈现出截然不同的悲剧色彩和启示意义。读完之后，我感觉自己对冷战时期的欧洲不再是一个平面概念，而是拥有了**丰富的肌理和深厚的底蕴**。
