Recenzii
There is little to quibble with in this extremely smart and original study. The attention to both the period of student activism and a longer history; the insightful use of oral history and interpretation of visual sources; the thoughtful renewed discussion of terms like "generation" and "political identity"; and the highly effective use of case studies in each chapter all contribute to the volume's success.
This is a work of quite stupendous scholarship.
Superbly written and researched.
The Other '68ers makes important contributions to the history of 1968, Christian Democracy and the Federal Republic.
The historian describes with verve and great American flair how moderate academics came to occupy [a] place in the ideological maelstrom of the 1960s, how they fought for it, and what compass they developed for the period that followed, in which they rose to top positions.
I commend von der Goltz for not overstating the importance of her subject. Instead, her book stays close to its sources and demonstrates the supporting role that center-right students played in shaping the provocative political culture of the 1960s and 1970s. It is a necessary corrective to histories of the West German student movement that describe leftist politics in isolation from the broader student body. And it reminds us that generational identities like "68er" are always politically divided.
In her richly sourced and conceptually sophisticated study, Anna von der Goltz argues that 1968 should be understood as a movement of the left as well as the right...this is a thoughtful, substantial, and fascinating intervention in the histories of generations in general and of 1968 and its memory wars in particular. The author's methodological rigor regarding the complexities of generational identity will make this a standard work for scholars in that field.
