Definition
- The term New Left describes a broad range of left-wing activist movements and intellectual currents that arose from the late 1950s. Often regarded as synonymous with the student radicalism of the 1960s, culminating in the uprisings of 1968, it may also refer more narrowly to particular segments within or alongside the 1968 movements that sought to give them theoretical coherence and political direction.
