This book brings together new and original critical essays by twelve
established European American Studies scholars to explore the 1960s from
a transatlantic perspective. Intended for an academic audience
interested in globalized American studies, this collection examines
topics ranging from the impact of the American civil rights movement in
Germany, France and Wales, through the transatlantic dimension of
feminism, to the global nature of the counterculture movement. It
explores the vicissitudes of Europe's status in US foreign relations,
anti-Vietnam European documentaries, USIA broadcasts, and the role of
the arts in collective and cultural memory.
