Edited by Gavin Walker"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>The analysis of May \u201968 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 was also the pivotal year for a new anti-colonial and anti-capitalist politics to 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\u2019s position\u2014neither in \u201cthe West\u201d nor in the \u201cThird World\u2019\u2014provoked a complex and intense round of mass mobilisations through the 1960s and early \u201970s. Although the \u201c\u201968 revolutions\u201d of the Global North\u2014Western Europe and North America\u2014are widely known, the Japanese situation remains remarkably under-examined globally. Beginning in the late 1950s, the New Left, independent of the prewar Japanese communist moment (itself of major historical importance in the 1920s and \u201930s), 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 organisational problems of the 1968 revolutions in Japan.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>The story of Japan\u2019s forgotten radical 1968<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>175 pages \/ February 2020<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.versobooks.com\/books\/2855-the-red-years\">https:\/\/www.versobooks.com\/books\/2855-the-red-years<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":21168,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[8,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21167","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-knjige","category-novosti"],"acf":{"facebook_opis":""},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/historiografija.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Japanese-68.jpg?fit=1536%2C2304&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":52586,"url":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/?p=52586","url_meta":{"origin":21167,"position":0},"title":"Aur\u00e9lie Daher, \u201eHezbollah: Mobilisation and Power\u201c","author":"Branimir Jankovi\u0107","date":"22. travnja 2026.","format":false,"excerpt":"Morning Star \u2018Book of the Year\u2019 Social movement, liberation party or terrorist group?
