Reviews

Stuart Henderson:
‘If you are looking for a collection of introductory essays on a broad range of topics on the Canadian 1960s, there is no other book I would recommend ahead of Debating Dissent.’

Nancy Janovicek:

‘Scholars who are interested in nuanced analysis of social change in the late twentieth century should read Debating Dissent. Students and a broader non-academic audience will enjoy these histories, too.’

Ian Milligan:
‘Debating Dissent should emerge as a preeminent anthology on the sixties for Canadian scholars… Ideal for courses on postwar Canada, social movements, and the sixties themselves….The synergy between established and new scholars makes this a particularly vibrant and valuable contribution.’
