ABSTRACT

The power of 1960s student activist movements continued to be felt well into the 1970s in Europe, although much of the momentum was by then lost. Isolated incidents of student resistance occurred-in England, in France, in Italy-but widespread police suppression, arrests, the deaths of radicals, and a more general public disapproval forced students in Europe to make the same choices facing those in the United States: return to campuses, look for alternative ways to protest (such as litiga-- tion), or turn to terrorism and go underground.
