Paris '68: Graffiti, posters, newspapers, and poems of the events of May 1968 - pocketboek

Graffiti, posters, newspapers and poems of the events of May 1968 During the student revolt, and the following general unrest, of May 1968 in Paris, street graffiti, posters and broadsheets flourished, displaying imagination, irreverence and humour and capturing better than anything else the spirit of the times. This book, published on the 20th anniversary of the événements, presents many of the most significant posters of the period as well as visually striking front pages of ACTION, the newspaper of the Comités d'Action, born out of the events. Marc Rohan, who took part in the events as a nineteen-year-old student, provides a brief but vivid account of the period and, twenty years on, a thoughtful conclusion. There is a whole section on graffiti (in their original French version with English translation) and a selection of poems (also in French and English). Paris '68
