The mass protests that shook France in May 1968 were exciting,
dangerous, creative and influential, changing European politics to
this day. Students demonstrated, workers went on general strike,
factories and universities were occupied. At the height of its
fervour, it brought the entire national economy to a halt. The
protests reached such a point that political leaders feared civil
war or revolution. Fifty years later, here are the eye-opening oral
testimonies of those young rebels. By listening to the voices of
students and workers, as opposed to those of their leaders, May '68
appears not just as a mass event, but rather as an event driven by
millions of individuals, achieving a mosaic human portrait of
France at the time. This book reveals the legacy of the uprising:
how those explosive experiences changed both those who took part,
and the course of history. May Made Me will record these moments
before history moves on yet again.
