Access to History for the IB Diploma: Protest and Change – Feminism in the U.S. (1960–1979) & Revolution in Tunisia (1989–2015)

Updated for first assessment in 2028

This newly revised volume in the renowned Access to History for the IB Diploma series explores two transformative movements within the Protest and Change focused study: the rise of feminism in the United States (1960–1979) and the revolution and democratic transition in Tunisia (1989–2015). Expertly written for the updated IB DP History curriculum (first teaching 2026), this edition provides the clarity, depth, and analytical rigor that students and teachers have long trusted.

Rooted firmly in the IB’s strengthened focus on historical inquiry, conceptual understanding, and diverse perspectives, this title supports students as they examine social, political, and cultural shifts that reshaped both American and Tunisian societies.
