{"product_id":"rebel-youth","title":"Rebel Youth","description":"\u003cp\u003eDuring the “long sixties,” baby boomers raised on democratic postwar ideals demanded a more egalitarian society for all. While a few became vocal leaders at universities across Canada, nearly 90% of Canada’s young people went straight to work after high school. There, they brought the anti-authoritarian spirit of the youth revolt to the labour movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile university-based activists combined youth culture with a new brand of radicalism to form the New Left, young workers were pressing for wildcat strikes and defying their aging union leaders in a wave of renewed militancy. In \u003cem\u003eRebel Youth,\u003c\/em\u003e Ian Milligan looks at these converging currents, demonstrating convincingly how they were part of a single youth phenomenon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith just short of seventy interviews complementing the extensive use of archival records from ten different cities, this book claims a central place for labour and class in the legacy of the Canadian sixties.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ian Milligan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53616324477308,"sku":"9780774826877","price":82.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9780774826877_4175b9f4-a042-40a1-b425-be81070cf181.jpg?v=1727873465","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/rebel-youth","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
