"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
