“…9 It actually appeared during a rising tide of political activism and cultural nonconformity among young people, and although the new student radicalism was a fertile topic for journalists in the early 1960s, few of them regarded the SDS manifesto as especially important. 10 Finally, while more than a few 1960s veterans claim that their readings of the Port Huron Statement provoked a certain frisson, others found it rather dull. Th ose SDS leaders who have admitted that they found sections of it "tedious" or "boring" are probably more representative of the New Left as a whole.…”

“…Jacquelyn Dowd Hall suggested in her work 'the Long Civil Rights Movement and the Political Uses of the Past' that the developments of the movement extended beyond the 'classic phase' of the 1950s-1960s and began in the late 1930s whilst remaining to be impactful in the 1960s and 1970s by 'inspiring a movement of movements' [1,2]. Through combining works such as John David Skrentny's article 'The Effect of the Cold War on African-American Civil Rights' and Hall's acknowledgement of the 'Long Civil Rights Movement', it may be inferred that the struggle for racial equality in America had long been subject to the effects of international events from the 1940s to the later stages of the Cold War.…”

“…El trabajo adopta el enfoque de los estudios sobre la "Nueva Izquierda" que, bajo los auspicios académicos de Tortti (1999), vienen siendo desarrollados en forma sistemática a través de la labor investigativa desarrollada por su equipo de trabajo con sede en la UNLP. Siguiendo dicha línea de análisis, las FAR son concebidas por la autora como un actor de ese heterogéneo conglomerado, catalogado como un "movimiento de movimientos" a nivel occidental (Van Gosse, 2002), en virtud de un lenguaje y estilo político común, al margen de los diferentes ámbitos de participación y prácticas desplegadas, ya que en su seno se incluyen estructuras tan disimiles como organizaciones armadas, agrupaciones estudiantiles, fracciones sindicales y eclesiásticas radicalizadas. A nivel de fuentes utilizadas, la autora analiza profusamente publicaciones militantes, documentos organizativos (principalmente, los obrantes en el fondo de la ex -Dirección de Inteligencia de la Policía de la Provincia de Buenos Aires bajo gestión de la Comisión Provincial de la Memoria) y entrevistas a ex -activistas, lo que conforma un registro nutrido y diverso que le permiten cumplir con creces la pesquisa desarrollada.…”
