Sumario: | Much as in other locations around the world, civil uprising, particularly rooted in the activism of young people and students, plagued France during May of 1968.

This book studies the life trajectories of many ordinary protestors during the period, using statistics and personal narratives to analyze how this activism arose, its impact on people?s personal and professional lives, and its transmission through familial generations. |
