Global, Protest, Italy, Research, Essay

The class project will be a short paper (no more than 5pp) on the global protests of 1968, analyzing political unrest in one country and connecting it to broader events taking place in other countries around the world.

In order to write this paper, you will identify a country of interest, primary sources such as government documents, newspaper articles, visual images, and other materials, and put these in conversation with at least one scholarly article to develop your argument about how the protests in your country fit in to what scholars now call the “global protests of 1968.”

Format: you can write this in Word, or you can prepare a web-based version of your paper, which will provide you with the opportunity to display other kinds of sources (images, posters, music, art). I will post details about this in the next week or so. Here is an example of a web-based version of a scholarly student paper on Brazil in 1968. https://stmuhistorymedia.org/the-march-of-the-one-hundred-thousand-the-brazilian-student-protest-of-1968/

Description: For your class project this semester you will be exploring the global protests of 1968. The goal of this paper is to examine the protests that took place in one of the countries that witnessed unrest in 1968, the events or dynamics that produced them, and how these connect to global events.

Here are the countries you can choose from: France, Germany, Canada, Japan, Czechoslovakia, Mexico, Senegal, China, Brazil, Nigeria, Pakistan, Ireland and/or England, Italy, Poland, Spain, and the University of Connecticut in the United States.

In a paper of from 1250-1500 words (roughly 4-5 pages) you will put into conversation primary sources (evidence produced at the time in 1968) and secondary sources (articles or maybe a book written about the events by scholars). These primary sources can consist of government documents, newspaper articles, images, art, music, or personal accounts.

Where to find primary sources:

FRUS

The best place to go to find out what is happening in 1968 in your country is the Foreign Relations of the United States (FRUS) series: https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/johnson. These volumes, which are edited collections of sources compiled by historians at the State Department, contain lots of US government reporting and discussion on what is happening in various countries.

If you wanted to write about Pakistan in 1968, for example, you could go here: https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1964-68v25, and go to the document section on India and Pakistan (https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1964-68v25/ch1) and scroll forward to 1968.

CIA Electronic FOIA reading room: This site gathers declassified CIA cables and analysis from the agency’s historical files. https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/advanced-search-view. Use the advanced search function and put in “protest” and the name of your country. Under “publication date” use the drop down menu and select “is between” and type in 1968-01-01 and 1969-01-01. The CIA’s landmark study on “restless youth” is particularly uesful: https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/docs/LOC-HAK-1-2-21-4.pdf

National Security Archive (https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/). The National Security Archive is a non-profit research organization that declassifies US documents on foreign policy. It has many projects that concern countries where protests took place in 1968, especially Mexico: https://nsarchive2.gwu.edu//NSAEBB/NSAEBB10/intro.htm, and Czechozlovakia (https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/prague-spring-68)

Cold War International History Project: (https://www.wilsoncenter.org/program/cold-war-international-history-project) has documents produced in other countries around the world. Many of these are translated. You can browse documents by country here (https://digitalarchive.wilsoncenter.org/browse and browse by year along the bottom, for example 1968 here: (https://digitalarchive.wilsoncenter.org/search-results/1/%7B%22start_date%22:%2219680101%22,%22end_date%22:%2219681231%22%7D?from_map=1&value=562)

Newspaper Articles: Proquest Historical Newspapers is a database that collects English language newspapers from around the world. You can search here by country and by year:

Secondary sources:

The main academic database for searching scholarly articles is JSTOR: https://www.jstor.org/action/showAdvancedSearch. Here you can search by country (France) and other keywords (protests, 1968). You should find at least one scholarly article on the protests taking place in your country during 1968.
