The Imaginary Revolution: Parisian Students and Workers in 1968: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Imaginary Revolution: Parisian Students and Workers in 1968" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

The events of 1968 have been seen as a decisive turning point in the Western world. The author takes a critical look at May 1968 and questions whether the events were in fact as revolutionary as French and foreign commentators have indicated. He concludes the student movement changed little that had not already been challenged and altered in the late fifties and early sixties. The workers strikes led to fewer working hours and higher wages, but these reforms reflected the secular demands of the French labor movement. May 1968 was remarkable not because of the actual transformations it wrought but rather by virtue of the revolutionary power that much of the media and most scholars have attributed to it and which turned it into a symbol of a youthful, renewed, and freer society in France and beyond.

A number of individuals helped to bring this fifteen-year project to completion. Many thanks go to Marcel van der Linden, Jean-Claude Dumas, Jean-Paul Vilaine, Steve Leiber, Arthur Arrivant, Marc Tomsin, and Henri Simon. My colleagues at UNC-WJames McNab, P.-J. Lapaire, Pascale Barthe, Kathleen Berkeley, Susan McCaffray, and Bruce Kinzerwere extremely helpful. So were Parisian archivists Stphanie Mchine, Edouard Vasseur, and Patrice Havard. Sophie Williams and Andrew Dutka performed selflessly in Randall Library. The copyeditor, Jaime Taber, exhibited impressive professionalism. The two referees improved the following pages immeasurably. All errors and omissions are unfortunately and undoubtedly my own.
