"1956 was one of the most remarkable years of the twentieth century. All across the globe, ordinary people spoke out, filled the streets and city squares, and took up arms in an attempt to win their freedom. Popular uprisings in Poland and Hungary shake Moscow's hold on its eastern European empire. Across the American South, and in the Union of South Africa, black people risk their livelihoods, and their lives, in the struggle to dismantle institutionalized white supremacy and secure first-class citizenship. France and Britain, already battling anti-colonial insurgencies in Algeria and Cyprus, now face the humiliation of Suez. Meanwhile, in Cuba, Fidel Castro and his band of rebels take to the Sierra Maestra to plot the overthrow of a dictator. Vibrantly and sympathetically told, this is the story of one year--a capsule history of exhilarating triumphs and shattering defeats around the world."--Jacket

During the 1970s and beyond, political causes both left and right-the gay rights movement, second-wave feminism, the protests against busing to desegregate schools, the tax revolt, and the anti-abortion struggle-drew inspiration from the protest movements of the 1960s. Indeed, in their enthusiasm for direct-action tactics, their use of street theater, and their engagement in grassroots organizing, activists in all these movements can be considered "children of the Sixties." Invocations of America's founding ideals of liberty and justice and other forms of patriotic protest have also featured prominently in the rhetoric and image of these movements. Appeals to the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights have been made forcefully by gay rights activists and feminists, for instance, while participants in the antibusing movement, the tax revolt, and the campaign against abortion rights have waved the American flag and claimed the support of the nation's founders. In tracing the continuation of quintessentially "Sixties" forms of protest and ideas into the last three decades of the twentieth century, and in emphasizing their legacy for conservatives as well as those on the left, "American Patriotism, American Protest" shows that the activism of the civil rights, New Left, and anti-Vietnam War movements has shaped America's modern political culture in decisive ways. As well as providing a refreshing alternative to the "rise and fall" narrative through which the Sixties are often viewed, Simon Hall's focus on the shared commitment to patriotic protest among a diverse range of activists from across the political spectrum also challenges claims that, in recent decades, patriotism has become the preserve of the political right. -- Book jacket

The article explores civil rights activism in Virginia during the 1960s— namely, the NAACP's response to direct-action protests in the state, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference's voter registration efforts, and the grassroots organizing of the Virginia Students' Civil Rights Committee. It uses these case studies to shed new light on important questions being debated by civil rights scholars—including the role of the NAACP, the relationship between the local and the national, the origins of Black Power, and the impact of the war in Vietnam on the civil rights movement.

In fesselnder Darstellung beschreibt der britische Historiker aufständische Bewegungen, die das Jahr 1956 geprägt haben: Rassenunruhen in den USA, Freiheitsbewegungen im Ostblock, antikolonialistische Bewegungen in Afrika und Kuba, nicht zuletzt auch der Konventionen sprengende Rock'n'Roll. Rezension: Analytische Geschichtsdarstellungen erlauben Zuspitzungen, verdichten Entwicklungen und Trends zu wegweisenden Marksteinen. So hat es F. Illies mit seinem "1913"-Bestseller gemacht (2012), so zuletzt auch V. Sebestyen zu "1946" (2016), und S. Hall, der in Leeds amerikanische Geschichte lehrt, setzt das nun mit "1956" fort. Halls roter Faden sind die aufständischen Bewegungen, die die Geschichte des Jahres weltweit durchziehen. Sein fesselnder, blendend geschriebener Querschnitt führt von den Rassenunruhen in den USA über Freiheitsbewegungen im Ostblock (Polen, Ungarn) und antikolonialistische und -rassistische Bewegungen in Kuba und Nord- und Südafrika bis zum Konventionen sprengenden Rock'n'Roll. Der Autor verfolgt die Ereignisse chronologisch, von Schauplatz zu Schauplatz springend, verzichtet allerdings auf eine zusammenfassende Synthese und Deutung. Inhaltlich im Einzelnen wenig überraschend, ist das gleichwohl anregend in der Zusammenschau der Ereignisse und für zeitgeschichtlich Interessierte spannende Lektüre. Mit zahlreichen Textabbildungen, Bibliografie und Kreuzregister. (2)

AbstractThe occupation of the last remaining tropical forests has been an initiative of many developing nations that is debated by the global community due to impacts on soil erosion, biodiversity loss and contributions to global climate change. Arguments against development range from the irreversible nature of tropical deforestation to the synergistic losses associated with environmental degradation and continued poverty. The focus of this paper is to determine if evidence of market advancements and growth can be found in an Amazonian settlement, thus providing counter-evidence for the boom–bust pattern of development that has been predicted for much of the Amazon. Using panel survey data (for four survey waves between 1996 and 2009), we find trends that are consistent with the industrial life cycle, suggesting a pattern that is more consistent with growth, development and consolidation.
