The events of 1968 are often seen purely as a student revolution, but impacted on every aspect of French society - theatre, film, sexuality, race, the countryside, the factories. This volume explores the full diversity of this extraordinary upheaval, and shows how 1968 continues to reverberate in France today.

Industry Reviews

'...a valuable resource for any scholar looking to consider an extraordinary period of modern French history in new, 'rethought' contexts.' - Matthew Ahluwalia, University of Sheffield, French History
