- Summary:
- An accessible collection of essays about one of the most dramatic moments in France's modern history: the 'events' of 1968. Often seen purely as a student revolution, the events in fact impacted on almost every aspects of French society - race relations, unions and workplace politics, the world of agriculture, gender relations and sexuality, theatre, film and the role of art in general in society. This volume of essays, written by young researchers and established scholars from France, Britain and NorthAmerica is the only book in English to explore the full scale and diversity of this extraordinary upheaval. It takes us out of Paris to the regions of France, out of the student Latin Quarter into the factories, and shows how the events of 1968 continued to reverberate throughout the next decade, and how their legacy is still highly contested in France today.
