The sixties were not just "sex, drugs, and rock and roll." Social movements aimed at overcoming patriarchy, colonialism, and corporate capitalism were equally part of the sixties revolution. These movements are still very much alive.

In The Long Sixties, seven veteran political activists from the sixties, all still engaged in campaigns and organizations across Canada, tell their stories of transformational activism. What could veteran activists from the sixties teach about activism? In addition to telling their stories -- how they got involved, why they stay involved, how they persevered into their twilight years -- they also critically reflect on their victories and defeats, their personal and political challenges, what they learned, and how their perspectives deepened and changed along the way.

This book provides hope, chronicling the significant gains -- in advancing peace, international human rights, Indigenous rights, women's and 2SLGBTQ+ rights, workers' rights, and environmental protection. Weathered voices open an intergenerational conversation about social solidarity and transformation to address the grave crises we face globally and nationally, including climate catastrophe, escalating warfare, extreme wealth inequality, ethno-nationalism, and a heightened continental threat to Canada's sovereignty.

With inspiring contributions from
Bob Bossin, Joan Kuyek, Dimitri Roussopoulos, Lib Spry, Cathy Walker, Peter Warrian
and
Jim Harding.
