How I can learn more about May 1968 in France?

Question

I've done some research on the protest that happened May 1968 in France and I'm very fascinated.Can someone recommend a good documentary/movie/book on the subject?

Answer 1

Amy Goodman did a program last month on the student  and protests  and at the site there are links to more information. http://www.democracynow.org/2008/5/14/19...

Here is a book " The Imagination of the New Left: The Global Analysis of 1968."  George Katsiaficas

  Democracy Now is doing a whole series on 1968, from US anti-war protests, to Bobby Kennedy and ML King assassinations.     Just go to the web site and search 1968.

Answer 2

If you have to write something you could be brilliant in settling the links between french 68, german extreme-left, and the "US-Berkeley-Dylan-AntiVietNamwar beat generation", combined with Kerouak etc - just an idea -

There is an over-abundant literature about this in french, and Google would prove this quickly, probably also in english - but of course the best would be that you work on french documents
