ABSTRACT
Introduction In the 1960s, Afro-Americans began an unprecedented fight for their rights and tried to shape a new identity. After the Black Revolt began, other alienated American ethnic groups began to shape new identities and to make militant demands for human and civil rights. Ethnic revitalization movements and conflicts also emerged in Great Britain and Canada, as well as in many other nations. The ethnic movements of the 1960s echoed throughout the world.
