Review of Berkeley in the Sixties (1990) by Brian Z — 25 Jan 2009
I thought this was really well done. I like that it stays focused on the student movement while still dealing with the wider context, especially locally (the Panthers, the hippy counterculture, the rise of Reagan).
Clearly coming from a left perspective, but not uncritical of the movement, the combination of archival footage and diverse interviews gives you both a sense of what it was like at the time and how it is understood in retrospect.
If you have any interest in universities as sites of collective resistance, don't miss this.
