"Students of the World is richly referenced in the endnotes and stands as an example of the creative possibilities of scholarly monographs. Students of the World will prove an enduring reference point for global histories of Cold War-era activism."

Ismay Milford, H-Soz-Kult

"With his well-researched and meticulously wrought study, Monaville has conjured up a bygone world of possibilities that clashed with the realities of Africa’s postcolonial hubris, a world that ended up crushed in the vortex of global politics. Students of the World possesses all the trappings of the kind of seminal works that pave the way for a historiographical renewal."

Didier Gondola, The Global Sixties

"This study is a significant, well-written contribution to the history of youth movements in the late 20th century. Highly recommended. Advanced undergraduates through faculty; professionals."

J. M. Rich, Choice

"The beauty of this book lies in both its content and form. . . . . Monaville’s book exemplifies an approach that integrates ‘theory and form’, thereby offering a valuable contribution to the historiography of student activism, decolonization, the Cold War, and the Global Sixties."

Emery Kalema, Journal of African History
