Reseña del libro "Militant Around the Clock? Left-Wing Youth Politics, Leisure, and Sexuality in Post-Dictatorship Greece, 1974-1981 (Protest, Culture & Society) (en Inglés)"
Papadogiannis offers an impressive panorama of radicalized youth cultures of the Left in post-authoritarian Greece. He manages to convey both the organizational outlook of this dense microcosm and the lived experience of the people at the time, historicizing masterfully this transitional moment in which young subjects in motion acted as a metaphor for change . . . the book uncovers the social, cultural, and political layers behind the resilience of collective action in post-1974 Greece. · Kostis Kornetis, New York University An original, well-researched book that provides a fresh perspective on youth and leisure in contemporary history by looking at Greece in the 1970s. · Frank Trentmann, Birkbeck College, University of London During the 1970s, left-wing youth militancy in Greece intensified, especially after the collapse of the military dictatorship in 1974. This is the first study of the impact of that political activism on the leisure pursuits and sexual behavior of Greek youth, analyzing the cultural politics of left-wing organizations alongside the actual practices of their members. Through an examination of Maoists, Socialists, Euro-Communists, and pro-Soviet groups, it demonstrates that left-wing youth in Greece collaborated closely with comrades from both Western and Eastern European countries in developing their political stances.
