THE RED YEARS - GAVIN WALKER KARTONIERT (TB)

The analysis of May 68 in Paris  Berkeley  and the Western world has been widely reconsidered.
But 1968 is not only a year that conjures up images of Paris  Frankfurt  or Milan: it is also
the pivotal year for a new anti-colonial and anti-capitalist politicsto erupt across the Third
World  a crucial and central moment in the history  thought  and politics of Asia  Africa  the
Middle East  and Latin America. Japan's position neither in the West nor in the Third World
provoked a complex and intense round of mass mobilizations through the 1960s and early 70s.
Although the '68 revolutions of the Global North Western Europe and North America are widely
known  the Japanese situation remains remarkably under-examined globally. Beginning in the late
1950s  a New Left  independent of the prewar Japanese communist moment (itself of major
historical importance in the 1920s and 30s)  came to produce one of the most vibrant decades of
political organization  political thought  and political aesthetics in the global twentieth
century. In the present volume  major thinkers of the Left in Japan alongside scholars of the
1968 movements reexamine the theoretical sources  historical background  cultural productions 
and major organizational problems of the 1968 revolutions in Japan.
