Unlike the large number of books dealing with student activism which appeared during the late 1960s and early 1970s, this volume stands virtually alone. The attention given by scholars and analysts to the topic of student political activism in recent years has been very modest. This is surprising because student activism, in many countries and particularly in the Third World, remains at a high level.

REVIEWS

"[This book] constitutes an important contribution to the literature. University Presidents or Vice-Chancellors who wish to avoid the mistakes made by their predecessors should read and ponder it." --Higher Education

"Although national differences in terms of educational systems, political ideologies and realities and societal conditions make international generalizations extremely difficult this volume does provide material for comparative study and will be of interest to students." --Comparative Education
