“A constant surveillance” The New York State Police and the student peace movement, 1965-1973 The Sixties Pub Date : 2023-02-15 Seth Kershner
ABSTRACT Historians recognize that there was an increase in political repression in the United States during the Vietnam War era.

Romancing the frontline: a view from dar es salaam on intimacy and political attachment The Sixties Pub Date : 2023-01-17 Andrew Ivaska

Cleansed from many formal political accounts, romance – and talk of it – loomed large and consequential in the everyday rhythms of life along the transnational networks of political exiles who transited

Profiles in ambiguity: how three 1960s American TV dramas “broached the unbroachable”—Vietnam The Sixties Pub Date : 2023-01-12 Mark Alvey
ABSTRACT Although American prime-time TV in the 1960s witnessed an “eruption” of comedies and dramas with military or combat settings, series television, like big-screen Hollywood films, virtually never dealt with Vietnam, ostensibly because the topic was “too hot” or “toxic.” Yet three overlooked series of the period did engage the war, with relative levels of explicitness and critique: Route 66 (1960–64)

Afro-Asia as method: Bandung, the production of postcolonial space, and the cruel optimism of the 1960s The Sixties Pub Date : 2023-01-05 Christopher J. Lee
ABSTRACT This article provides a conceptual intervention regarding how postcolonial space was reimagined in the aftermath of global decolonization during the mid-twentieth century. It argues that political imagination operates not only temporally by rethinking pasts, presents, and futures, but it equally functions spatially by reconsidering normative geographies such as the continent and the nation-state

Bases, bars, and blue jeans: Thailand and cultural debates over the Vietnam War The Sixties Pub Date : 2023-01-05 Sudina Paungpetch
ABSTRACT As a hub of U.S. air operations in the Vietnam War, Thailand hosted a large number of U.S. military personnel, which brought Thais into an unprecedented level of contact with foreigners who altered Thai social life. The cultural impact of a transformed nightlife, relationships between Thai women and American servicemen, and concerns over the future of mixed-race children were at the forefront

Teaching the global sixties: a perspective from Latin America The Sixties Pub Date : 2023-01-05 Jaime M. Pensado
ABSTRACT This article draws attention to some of the contributions that Mohandesi makes in his essay while critiquing one of his central arguments. I primarily approach this response from my teaching position as a scholar of modern Latin American history. From this perspective, I do not feel that we have reached a roadblock in our studies of the Global Sixties, but rather that we have yet to explore

X and X: on the containment and liberation of Cold War histories The Sixties Pub Date : 2023-01-05 Christopher J. Lee
ABSTRACT This short essay provides a response to Salar Mohandesi’s intervention “Thinking the Global Sixties.” Utilizing the symbolic examples of George F. Kennan and Malcolm X, it argues that the historiography of the Cold War has been shaped by competing approaches of “containment” and “liberation” which reflect two understandings of the world at the time. The essay concludes by suggesting that the

Response to Salar Mohandesi’s “thinking the Global Sixties” The Sixties Pub Date : 2023-01-04 Judy Tzu-Chun Wu
ABSTRACT My response to Salar Mohandesi offers appreciation for his efforts to define the core and future directions of the study of the Global Studies. Nevertheless, I question whether drawing boundaries regarding the political orientation and periodization of this era might be unnecessarily restrictive.

Thinking the Global Sixties The Sixties Pub Date : 2022-12-15 Salar Mohandesi
ABSTRACT Recent scholarship has radically expanded the object of inquiry, timeline, and geographic scope of the Global Sixties. Although significantly enriching our knowledge of the 1960s and 1970s, this turn has had the unintended consequence of inflating the category of the Global Sixties to such a degree that it now encompasses virtually everything that happened anywhere on the planet from the 1950s

Revisiting 1960s Countercultural Back-to-the-Land Migration and Its Millennial Resurgence The Sixties Pub Date : 2022-10-14 Dr Keith Halfacree
ABSTRACT “Getting one’s head together” by attempting to go “back-to-the-land” – move into the countryside to live more “naturally” – remains a stereotype of “hippies” from the long Sixties. Yet, while studies of this phenomenon exist, both academic and as memoirs, it has not been researched in detail as much as might have been expected, certainly not in terms of how those involved lived “off the land”
