On all continents, from Latin America to Asia, in the USA, Europe, and the Eastern Bloc, the great wave of protest and liberation of 1968 recalls, in terms of its scope and consequences, the 'Spring of Nations' of 1848.
In France, as seen in the recent presidential campaign, the events of 1968 constitute the last blind spot of collective memory, following the Vichy regime and the war in Algeria. Whether we praise or criticize them, 'the Events' mark a significant rupture in French society.
There is - and there will always be, whether we like it or not - a 'before' and an 'after' May '68. What did those months of madness look like, from March 27, when Nanterre University was closed, from the occupation of the Sorbonne and the Night of the Barricades on May 10/11, to the general strike and the Grenelle agreements?
Richly illustrated, combining shocking photographs, slogans, and posters, this book, which encompasses all that represents the 'spirit of May', seeks to share with the reader that unique experience, which, 40 years later, touches us as if it were yesterday.
