mehsi's review against another edition

3.0

Pretty OK book about protests in the sixties, with also a few from the 80s and the current time. I have to say I loved the older ones more than the newer works. Especially those last pages weren't that interesting to me. We see protests in Paris, in Vietnam, in Berlin (with the wall still very much present), we go to America for the segregation and the protests following that, and we also see other places in the world. It was quite interesting though I had wanted more descriptions giving more information on the scene in front of us. Now we generally had descriptions like: Black man and White woman together in a shower on a beach, or black boy on the ground with flag, or woman protesting along with others. The text itself between the chapters wasn't that interesting. I tried reading it, but it just couldn't hold my attention.
