It's 50 years since Paris streets erupted in violence with the student riots, creating the first serious post-War generational rupture. However, the revolutionary politics that led to and from the violence were confined neither to just Paris or the summer of '68. Gordon Brewer speaks to the historian and author of The Long ’68 about the global politics that were in place beforehand and the shockwaves that the riots sent out into the 70s.
