{"product_id":"9781773638034","title":"The Long Sixties","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe sixties were not just “sex, drugs, and rock and roll.” Social movements aimed at overcoming patriarchy, colonialism, and corporate capitalism were equally part of the sixties revolution. These movements are still very much alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \t\t\t\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe Long Sixties\u003c\/em\u003e, seven veteran political activists from the sixties, all still engaged in campaigns and organizations across Canada, tell their stories of transformational activism. What could veteran activists from the sixties teach about activism? In addition to telling their stories — how they got involved, why they stay involved, how they persevered into their twilight years — they also critically reflect on their victories and defeats, their personal and political challenges, what they learned, and how their perspectives deepened and changed along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \t\t\t\u003cp\u003eThis book provides hope, chronicling the significant gains — in advancing peace, international human rights, Indigenous rights, women’s and 2SLGBTQ+ rights, workers’ rights, and environmental protection. Weathered voices open an intergenerational conversation about social solidarity and transformation to address the grave crises we face globally and nationally, including climate catastrophe, escalating warfare, extreme wealth inequality, ethno-nationalism, and a heightened continental threat to Canada’s sovereignty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \t\t\t\u003cp\u003eWith inspiring contributions from \u003cstrong\u003e\n  \t\t\t\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/fernwoodpublishing.ca\/authors\/view\/bob-bossin\"\u003eBob Bossin\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/fernwoodpublishing.ca\/authors\/view\/joan-kuyek\"\u003eJoan Kuyek\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/fernwoodpublishing.ca\/authors\/view\/dimitrios-roussopoulos\"\u003eDimitri Roussopoulos\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/fernwoodpublishing.ca\/authors\/view\/lib-spry\"\u003eLib Spry\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/fernwoodpublishing.ca\/authors\/view\/cathy-walker\"\u003eCathy Walker\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/fernwoodpublishing.ca\/authors\/view\/peter-warrian\"\u003ePeter Warrian\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \t\t\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e\n  \t\t\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/fernwoodpublishing.ca\/authors\/view\/jim-harding\"\u003eJim Harding\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/strong\u003e\n  \t\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fernwood Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64930326413661,"sku":null,"price":13.46,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/3893\/2573\/files\/9781773638034.jpg?v=1788913205","url":"https:\/\/shop.gazellebookservices.co.uk\/products\/9781773638034","provider":"Gazelle Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
