\u201c\u2018Unveiling the Global Sixties,\u2019 grew out of my interest in looking beyond the familiar American and Western European story of the 1960s and examining the decade as a genuinely global phenomenon. My interest in the period has grown considerably in recent years, particularly through my teaching and writing about the Beatles, and I came to feel that I had more to say about the 1960s and their significance,\u201d Campbell said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book begins with the postwar period and widens to include topics such as the Chinese Cultural Revolution, the Arab-Israeli conflict, the struggle of African nations for independence, the impact of the Cold War on nonaligned nations, and key developments in Latin America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Campbell has taught multiple courses on the Beatles and Bruce Springsteen, in addition to writing and editing a number of books on various topics, including \u201cThe Beatles and the 1960s: Reception, Revolution, and Social Change.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
