“Piccini’s history is impressive. … his work is carefully and richly researched, and embellished with well-chosen quotes. The book engages well with the current global literature on the global turn and multiple other subjects. Overall its crisp focus on the relationship between Australian and Asian radicalism sets a benchmark for further transnational explorations of the New Left and associated social movements, globally.” (Toby Boraman, The American Historical Review, Vol. 124 (2), April, 2019)“Transnational Protest offers a history of Australian radical activism in the late 1960s through six case studies. Each case study examines the ways that activists in Australia received and responded to ideas from overseas, or how they themselves travelled overseas and investigated radical ideas in their original contexts. … Transnational Protest is an impressive debut and represents an injection of exciting new material into the historiography of the Australian 1960s.” (Nick Irving, Australian Historical Studies, Vol. 49 (1), February, 2018)“Transnational Protest uses case studies drawn particularly from the student, indigenous, socialist and anti-war movements to explore how activists and their practice ‘became’ transnational, in a period often viewed as the dawn of contemporary globalisation. … This is a meticulously researched and important book which contributes a great deal to our understanding of Australia’s 1960s.” (Kate Murphy, Labour History, Issue 112, May 2017)
