The class project will be a short paper (no more than 5pp) on the global protests of 1968, analyzing political unrest in one country and connecting it to broader events taking place in other countries around the world.
You can choose any country that witnessed protests in 1968, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO: France, Italy, Canada, Denmark, Yugoslavia, Uruguay, Germany, USSR, Japan, Czechoslovakia, Jamaica, Mexico, Senegal, China, Brazil, Nigeria, Pakistan, Ireland and/or England, Italy, Poland, Spain, and the University of Connecticut in the United States.
In order to write this paper you will identify a country of interest, primary sources such as government documents, newspaper articles, visual images, and other materials, and put these in conversation with at least one scholarly article to develop your argument about how the protests in your country fit in to what scholars now call the “global protests of 1968.”
In a paper of from 1250-1500 words (roughly 4-5 pages) you will put into conversation primary sources (evidence produced at the time in 1968) and secondary sources (articles or maybe a book written about the events by scholars). These primary sources can consist of government documents, newspaper articles, images, art, music, or personal accounts.
