OverviewMemories of May 68 charts the emergence of the conventional representation of the French events of 1968 and argues that the dominance of this narrative, despite its limitations, stems from the convenience that such a consensus provides for those that have been pivotal in shaping the collective memory of this critical moment in French history.

A fine contribution to the historiography' Professor Robert Gildea, University of Oxford, Professor of Modern History 'Chris Reynolds updates perspectives on May 1968 by way of an overdue concentration on the events in the provinces, along with a reassertion of the generally underestimated importance of reformist elements. May as spectacle is cogently demystified here, in a study that provides a significant and thoroughly-documented corrective to more glamorised views and representations.'
