May Made Me

A Conversation with Mitch Abidor and Todd Gitlin

The mass protests that shook France in May 1968 changed European politics to this day. Students demonstrated, workers went on general strike, factories and universities were occupied. At the height of its fervor, it brought the entire national economy to a halt. Fifty years later, Mitch Abidor and Todd Gitlin will delve into the oral testimonies of those young rebels collected by Abidor in his new book, May Made Me (AK Press). Our speakers will discuss the legacy of the uprising, and how those explosive experiences have changed both the individual and history.
