Opis

This volume analyses and historicises the memory of 1968 (understood as a marker of an emerging will for social change around the turn of that decade, rather than as a particular calendar year), focusing on cultural memory of the powerful signifier '68' and women’s experience of revolutionary agency.

Recenzje

"This volume offers a broad, nuanced, and multidirectional rethinking of the legacy of 1968 through the lens of gender and the ways in which an array of militant feminist practices effect political change. The cross-referencing of chapters and the engagement of individual contributors with each other’s arguments succeeds in creating a resonant network of correspondences, overlaps, provocations, contradictions, and tensions." Karin Bauer, McGill University
