  • Summary

    The introduction examines the way the 1960s, and 1968 in particular, have been interpreted, and argues that the explanation of the revolts of the 1960s has often remained trapped in recovering or puncturing the revolutionary mythology of the events. It argues instead that the most important implications of the student protests of 1968 may not be in their long-term consequences, but in the short-term possibilities they demonstrated.
