The Long '68 (Penguin Orange Spines)

The 'long 68' saw an extraordinary range of protests across much of the western world. Some of these were genuinely revolutionary -around 10 million French workers struck and the whole state teeteredon the brink of collapse. Others were more easily contained, but had profound longer term implications - terrorist groups, feminist collectives, gay rights activists could all trace important roots to 1968. Bill Clinton and even Tony Blair are, in many ways, the product of 68.

THE LONG '68 is a striking and original attempt, half a century on, to show how these events, which in some ways still seem so current, stemmed from histories and societies which are in practice now extraordinarily remote from our own time.

„Long 68” a vazut o gama extraordinara de proteste in mare parte din lumea occidentala. Unele dintre acestea au fost cu adevarat revolutionare - in jurul valorii de 10 milioane de muncitori francezi au lovit si intregul stat a zguduit in pragul colapsului.
