Sommario/riassunto

'Young Lives on the Left' is a unique social history of the individual lives of men and women who came of age in radical left circles in the 1960s. Based on a rich collection of oral history interviews, it follows approximately 20 individuals, tracing the experience of activist self-making from child to adulthood in depth.
