<P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P><br>This study is available via the UK Data Service <a href="http://discover.ukdataservice.ac.uk/QualiBank/">Qualibank</a>, an online tool for browsing, searching and citing the content of selected qualitative data collections held at the UK Data Service.<br> <br> This material formed part of a larger project which explored the memories, motivations and experiences of those involved in the politically radical, student movements of the late 1960s, in six of the West’s industrialised countries. <br> <br> Interviews with leaders of the British and Northern Irish student movements cover in some detail the early marches; student strikes at various universities such as the London School of Economics; the founding of various new left journals; and the rise of the feminist movement in Britain. This includes conversations with Tariq Ali, Martin Jacques, Hilary Wainwright and Fred Halliday.<br> <br> Interviews with Irish student leaders document the early civil rights movement among Roman Catholic students in Londonderry and other venues, and the increasing violence engendered in Northern Ireland. <br> <br> This examination of an important year in Western history is published to coincide with the 20th anniversary of 1968. 1968, like 1948, was a year in which the Western world seemed to hover on the brink of revolution, and much of the impetus for change came from the student movement. In Paris, rioting students threatened to bring down the authoritarian government of General de Gaulle; in London the anti-Vietnamese War rally was followed by the occupation of the LSE; in Germany and Italy universities were occupied and massive demonstrations mounted; in the United States anti-war fervour and a decade of civil rights culminated in the bloody scenes at the Democratic Party Convention in Chicago. Hostility to the materialism of the postwar consensus made household names of Rudi Dutschke, Danny Cohn Bendit, Tariq Ali and Bernadette Devlin. Public attention was drawn to feminism, the pop and alternative cultures and the sexual revolution. The author is a leading oral historian, and has worked as a journalist with "History Workshop" since 1980. He has written three oral histories of Spain, his most recent book being "In Search of a Past" (1984).<br> <br><br><B>Main Topics</B>:<BR><br>Education; school life; family life; political development; nuclear disarmament; cultural life; youth culture; music; sexual behaviour; parents; student politics; universities; student organisations; demonstrations; anti-war movements; USA; socialism; political science; labour movement; Marxism; anarchism; women’s liberation movement; revolution; revolutionary movements; subversive activities; political activities; political factions.<P>本摘要版权归英国数据服务中心（UK Data Service）及数据采集版权所有者所有。</P><br>本研究可通过英国数据服务中心的Qualibank平台获取，该平台是用于浏览、检索并引用英国数据服务中心所藏精选质性数据集内容的在线工具。<br><br>该资料源自一项大型研究项目，该项目针对西方六个工业化国家1960年代末参与政治激进学生运动的群体的记忆、动机与经历展开了调研。<br><br>针对英国及北爱尔兰学生运动领袖的访谈详细涵盖了早期游行、伦敦政治经济学院等多所高校的学生罢课、各类新左翼期刊的创办，以及英国女权运动的兴起。受访对象包括塔里克·阿里（Tariq Ali）、马丁·雅克（Martin Jacques）、希拉里·温赖特（Hilary Wainwright）与弗雷德·哈利迪（Fred Halliday）。<br><br>对爱尔兰学生领袖的访谈记录了伦敦德里及其他地区罗马天主教学生发起的早期民权运动，以及北爱尔兰地区不断升级的暴力冲突。<br><br>本次针对西方历史上重要年份的研究成果发布，恰逢1968年运动20周年纪念。1968年与1948年相仿，西方世界似乎处于革命的边缘，而变革的诸多动力均源自学生运动。在巴黎，学生暴动险些推翻戴高乐将军的威权政府；在伦敦，反越南战争集会后爆发了伦敦政治经济学院占领事件；在德国与意大利，高校被占领并举行了大规模示威游行；在美国，反战情绪与十年民权运动最终在芝加哥民主党全国代表大会上演变为血腥冲突。战后共识下的物质主义招致诸多不满，鲁迪·杜契克（Rudi Dutschke）、丹尼·科恩-本迪特（Danny Cohn Bendit）、塔里克·阿里与贝尔纳黛特·德夫林（Bernadette Devlin）因此成为家喻户晓的人物。公众的目光也投向了女权主义、流行与亚文化以及性解放运动。本研究作者是知名口述历史学家，自1980年起便以记者身份为"History Workshop"供稿。他曾撰写三部关于西班牙的口述史著作，最新作品为《追寻过往》（"In Search of a Past"，1984）。<br><br><B>核心主题</B>:<BR><br>教育；校园生活；家庭生活；政治发展；核裁军；文化生活；青年文化；音乐；性行为；父母；学生政治；高校；学生组织；示威游行；反战运动；美国；社会主义；政治学；劳工运动；马克思主义；无政府主义；妇女解放运动；革命；革命运动；颠覆活动；政治活动；政治派系。
