'An ambitious and masterly account of utopian protest in Europe ...
Fast-paced, with an eye for telling detail and written with a light
touch' Robert GildeaIn post-war Europe, protest was everywhere. On
both sides of the Iron Curtain, from Paris to Prague, Milan to
Wroclaw, ordinary people took to the streets, fighting for a better
world.Their efforts came to a head most dramatically in 1968 and
1989, when mass movements swept Europe and rewrote its history. In
the decades between, Joachim C. Haberlen argues, new movements
emerged that transformed the nature of protesting.Activism moved
beyond traditional demonstrations, from squatting to staging
'happenings' and camping out at nuclear power plants. People
protested in the way they dressed, the music they listened to, the
lovers they slept with, the clubs where they danced all night. New
movements were born, notably anti-racism, women's liberation, gay
liberation, and environmentalism.And protest turned inward, as
activists experimented with new ways of living and feeling, from
communes to group therapy, in their efforts to live a better life
in the here and now. Some of these struggles succeeded, others
failed. But successful or not, their history provides a glimpse
into roads not taken, into futures that did not happen.The stories
in Haberlen's book invite us to imagine different futures, to
struggle, to fail, and to try again. In a time when we are told
that there are no alternatives, they show us that there could be
another way.
