Good corrective to the idea that the 70s were just a fatuous "Me Decade." Missing only (in my view) enough of a focus on radical environmentalism's roots in the decade, for example the mobilizations around the UN summit in 1970, resulting in the development of the ideas of deep ecology and bioregionalism, Love Canal kicking off the environmental justice movement in 1978, and Earth First's founding in 1979, to name a few. Otherwise a pretty panoramic view of the multiplicity of struggles that continued to develop in the US out of the transformational momentum of the previous decade; at the same time each article provides depth and detail about a particular, sometimes very localized situation, a real insider's view.

The 1970's were a complex, multilayered, and critical part of a long era of profound societal change and an essential component of the decade before-several of the most iconic events of "the sixties" occurred in the ten years that followed. The Hidden 1970's explores the distinctiveness of those years, a time when radicals tried to change the world as the world changed around them. This powerful collection is a compelling assessment of left-wing social movements in a period many have described as dominated by conservatism or confusion. Scholars examine critical and largely buried legacies of the 1970's. The decade of Nixon's fall and Reagan's rise also saw widespread indigenous militancy, prisoner uprisings, transnational campaigns for self-determination, pacifism, and queer theories of play as political action. Contributors focus on diverse topics, including the internationalization of Black Power and Native sovereignty, organizing for Puerto Rican independence among Latinos and whites, and women's self-defense. Essays and ideas trace the roots of struggles from the 1960's through the 1970's, providing fascinating insight into the myriad ways that radical social movements shaped American political culture in the 1970's and the many ways they continue to do so today.
