The decade-long revolution known as May '68 is commonly framed as a political protest radiating out from European and North American universities. However, much is gained by instead viewing May '68 within the context of both anticolonial struggle and the emergence of what Wallerstein terms "the world university system." Understanding student protests within the context of anticolonial struggle, including within African universities, reveals the extent to which the neoliberal university we inhabit today is the product of a profound counterrevolution designed to undermine the promise of the university as a site of radical and anticolonial transformation.

Church-state relations in Italy have concerned the role of the Catholic Church in the failure of successive regimes to consolidate themselves & a triangular relationship involving the Christian Democrat (DC) Party, 1943-1994. Despite a historic ambivalence about Christian Democracy, the Church supported the party not least because of its concern about the challenge of the Communist Party. By the 1970s, the church was engaged in redefining its position vis-a-vis the state, leading to the renegotiation of the 1929 concordat in 1984. The demise of the DC in 1994 finally broke the myth of Catholic political unity. 2 Tables. Adapted from the source document.

In the article, different reasons for the long-lasting war against international terrorism under the Islamist banner are analysed. Notwithstanding the "Al-Qaeda's" weakening, since autumn 2001, many new groups have sprung up threatening the international security. Till now, the war has been waged only against terrorists, but no serious attention has been paid to neutralization of radical Islamism as an ideology causing terrorism. In connection with the military actions in Iraq and Afghanistan, anti-western feelings have been growing up breeding radical Islamism. It is emphasized in the article that the antiterrorist coalition in its present state is unable to fulfill its mission. It can become really efficient only if Muslim régimes would increase their input into the common struggle. Standing on the ground of traditional Islam they could easier curb Islamism and thus cut the roots of terrorism.

This book makes a major contribution to the continuing legal and historical struggle for equal pay in Australia, with international references, including Canada, the UK and US. It takes law, history and women's and gender studies to analyse and recount campaigns, cases and debates. Industrial bodies federally and around Australia have grappled with this issue from the early-twentieth century onwards. This book traces the struggle through the decades, looking at women's organisations activism and demands, union 'pro' and 'against' activity, and the 'official' approach in tribunals, boards and courts

Explores how the modern women's movement has irrevocably transformed society, making it the "longest revolution of the century." Examination of women's status during the last half of the 20th century notes that help wanted ads were sex segregated, career opportunities were severely limited, & female students were banned from Harvard U's Lamont Library so they wouldn't distract males. The movement's growth is described, along with its subsequent fragmentation, resulting in a multitude of American feminisms with different priorities. In spite of the lack of a single movement & a backlash prompted by the Republican Right's "family values" campaign, it is maintained that women of all classes/economic levels understand how gender has shaped their lives, & most favor a strong women's movement. Movement gains are described, along with the failure to attain economic justice for poor women, change most institutions, or make child care a societal responsibility. It is argued that American women currently only "have it all" if they "do it all," leaving much unfinished work for the new generation. J. Lindroth

My own findings make it impossible to argue with the observation that participatory development schemes really only benefit those who are already better off, and I have since made a point of sharing it in my teaching on international development at University of California, Berkeley. When my students, brimming with good intentions, ask, what is to be done, I tell them the only thing that I now know for certain: ideals may take you around the world, but if you really want to make a difference, you have to be committed to one place and you have to be in for the long haul.

"By all accounts, 2020 was the longest year in recent memory, as people in the United States and across the globe careened from one unfolding catastrophe to another. This collection assembles a strikingly interdisciplinary group of scholars and thinkers to address how the many crises of 2020-epidemiological, political, ecological, and social-have unfolded, examining their origins and their ongoing effects"--
