Category: Booklets
The booklets in this section offer a cross section of reflection on the Events from many perspectives. Several items illustrate the unprecedented involvement of the employed middle strata in the Events, notably film makers and architects. Analysis of this phenomenon is represented by a booklet on "Les Etudiants, les Cadres, et la Révolution." The "Université Critique" pamphlet was prepared by Law students and shows the depth and seriousness of the movement for university reform. At the other end of the political spectrum of the movement, "Mai '68" is a presentation by the authors of leaflets advocating self-managing socialism and distributed for the most part in factories. "Les Murs ont la Parole" is a collection of graffiti from the walls of Paris and displays the creativity and humor of the students and their allies. "Nous Sommes en Marche" begins with the influential early manifesto entitled "The Amnesty of Blinded Eyes." The group which issued that document continued to meet and record its reflections throughout May, eventually issuing this interesting collection. The "Livre Noir" documents the violent suppression of the movement. Other items in this section give insight into the reaction of the unions, the Communist Party, and various political sects.
