DOWNLOAD EBOOKSince World War II, students in East and Southeast Asia have led protest movements that toppled authoritarian regimes in countries such as Indonesia, South Korea, and Thailand. Elsewhere in the region, student protests have shaken regimes until they were brutally suppressed--most famously in China's Tiananmen Square and in Burma. But despite their significance, these movements have received only a fraction of the notice that has been given to American and European student protests of the 1960s and 1970s. The first book in decades to redress this neglect, Student Activism in Asia tells the story of student protest movements across Asia. Taking an interdisciplinary, comparative approach, the contributors examine ten countries, focusing on those where student protests have been particularly fierce and consequential: China, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Indonesia, Burma, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines. They explore similarities and differences among student movements in these countries, paying special attention to the influence of four factors: higher education systems, students' collective identities, students' relationships with ruling regimes, and transnational flows of activist ideas and inspirations. The authors include leading specialists on student activism in each of the countries investigated. Together, these experts provide a rich picture of an important tradition of political protest that has ebbed and flowed but has left indelible marks on Asia's sociopolitical landscape.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe dialectic between pro-and-anti-Vietnam War supporters has been an overlooked part of the history of Vietnam War student activism. The divided baby boomer generation on college and university campuses during the 1960s and 1970s are the focus demographic of this study. Rather than present them as a coherent group of disaffected youth, as the media and many adults did at the time, this thesis will explore, within the scope of, how three college campuses in western North Carolina underscore the ways that baby boomers disagreed over events that defined their generation. The disagreements expressed by Vietnam war groups would grow into the articulation of the New Left and the New Right politics of the 1960s and 1970s. These separate political affiliations, which developed in the late 1960s, have historically been identified as incubated in two separate spaces. The New Left is famous for its prosperous beginnings on college campuses across the nation, while the New Right gained traction within working-class America during Richard Nixon's 1968 presidential campaign. However, the New Right's values can also be found on college campuses articulated through the public opinions of Vietnam veterans and conservative students. For western North Carolina college students the focus was on campus and student life improvement which dovetails in the womens liberation movement, free speech movement, and anti-censorship movements. The formulation of student's rights movements were articulated on campuses such as Appalachian State University, University of North Carolina at Asheville, and Western Carolina University, which serves as an example of small regionally comprehensive universities student activism which serve larger political purposes than they have been given credit for.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn Sitting In and Speaking Out, Jeffrey A. Turner examines student movements in the South to grasp the nature of activism in the region during the turbulent 1960s. Turner argues that the story of student activism is too often focused on national groups like Students for a Democratic Society and events at schools like Columbia University and the University of California at Berkeley. Examining the activism of black and white students, he shows that the South responded to national developments but that the response had its own trajectory--one that was rooted in race. Turner looks at such events as the initial desegregation of campuses; integration's long aftermath, as students learned to share institutions; the Black Power movement; and the antiwar movement. Escalating protest against the Vietnam War tested southern distinctiveness, says Turner. The South's tendency toward hawkishness impeded antiwar activism, but once that activism arrived, it was--as in other parts of the country--oriented toward events at national and global scales. Nevertheless, southern student activism retained some of its core characteristics. Even in the late 1960s, southern protesters' demands tended toward reform, often eschewing calls to revolution increasingly heard elsewhere. Based on primary research at more than twenty public and private institutions in the deep and upper South, including historically black schools, Sitting In and Speaking Out is a wide-ranging and sensitive portrait of southern students navigating a remarkably dynamic era.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBased on empirical evidence derived from university and national archives across the country and interviews with participants, British Student Activism in the Long Sixtiesreconstructs the world of university students in the 1960s and 1970s. Student accounts are placed within the context of a wide variety of primary and secondary sources from across Britain and the world, making this project the first book-length history of the British student movement to employ literary and theoretical frameworks which differentiate it from most other histories of student activism to date. Globalization, especially of mass communications, made British students aware of global problems such as the threat of nuclear weapons, the Vietnam War, racism, sexism and injustice. British students applied these global ideas to their own unique circumstances, using their intellectual traditions and political theories which resulted in unique outcomes. British student activists effectively gained support from students, staff, and workers for their struggle for student’s rights to unionize, freely assemble and speak, and participate in university decision-making. Their campaigns effectively raised public awareness of these issues and contributed to significant national decisions in many considerable areas.
