The events of May 1968 began with student protests against the Vietnam War and American imperialism but quickly expanded to rebellion over student living conditions and resistance to capitalist consumerism. An uprising at the Sorbonne was followed by wildcat strikes across France that united students and workers and brought the country's economy to a halt. There have been many accounts of these events. This book tells the story in a different way, through the graffiti inscribed by protestors as they protested."--Provided by publisher.RiotsFranceHistory20th centuryGeneral Strike, France, 1968Student movementsFranceParisHistory20th centuryGraffitiFrancePictorial worksSOCIAL SCIENCES/Political Science/Political & Social TheoryHUMANITIES/HistoryCULTURAL STUDIES/GeneralRiotsHistoryGeneral Strike, France, 1968.Student movementsHistoryGraffiti944/.3610836Besanc̀§on Julien1932-1651502McDonough Tom1969-Phillips Whitney1983-Vale HenryOCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910825468303321The walls have the floor4001495UNINA
