The May 1968 Events in France Reproductions and Interpretations [Hardcover]

The multiple impact of the May 1968 events in France is here reviewed and analysed, initially through a narrative account of the events themselves and then through a systematic survey of the various manners in which they have been interpreted and reproduced in France. This covers successively political, social/sociological, and cultural texts - first-hand accounts along with works by political activists and academic social scientists - before moving to a consideration of fictional works (novels and feature films) dealing with or set during the events.Acknowledgements - List of Abbreviations - What happened in May 1968? - The Interpretations of the Crisis of May/June 1968 - Other Interpretations of the Events - Cultural Interpretations of the Events - Reproductions of the May Events - Women and the Events of May '68;K.Wadia - Epilogue - Endnotes - Bibliography - Index
