When the Old World Unraveled

Sheehan, Helena (2018) When the Old World Unraveled. Jacobin (29). pp. 102-112. ISSN 2470-6930

Abstract
What made 1968 such an iconic year? What forces were in motion to erupt in the dramatic events of that year? What was it like to live through those times? What were the consequences of those events? What conclusions can we draw now about the meaning of those events? What reverberations can we still feel 50 years later? Helena Sheehan, active in 1968 and still going, addresses these questions.
