Abstract:  The political, social and cultural upheavals of the 1960's are of continuing interest as we try to resist the conservative pressures of the present. Caute's book looks at the explosive year 1968 (while situating it in the context of what had led up to it). One of the great strengths of this excellent book is that it looks at what was happening around the world: a valuable corrective to the U.S.-centred perspective of so many other books on the period. Caute gives much attention to the relationship between the "New Left" and the sixties "counter-culture", noting the continuing tension (but also fruitful interaction) between the "intellectual platoons" and the "apostles of instinct and feeling". Fundamental to all New Left movements, he says, "was a vision of a world undivided by race, class, or gender", a vision that was ultimately to be fractured by the contradictions of race and gender. 68: The Year of the Barricades is a lively and instructive history woven through with thought-provoking analysis.
