Spirit of '68: Beyond the Barricades commemorates the fortieth anniversary of the 5 October civil rights march in Derry, reflecting on the way the events were shaped not just by the interplay of Orange and Green traditions but by the struggle of working class people throughout the world for economic and social rights.
Contributors examine the international and local context of the events, the impact of the march and its aftermath on working class Protestants, and the issues which the NI civil rights movement raised for the trade union movement, for republican socialism, for the women's movement and for the struggle for gay rights.
