1968: Societies in Crisis

19 January, 2010

Dr. Patrick Dramé in the History Department has recently published, in collaboration with Jean Lamarre from the Royal Military College in Kingston, the proceedings of a colloquium held in October 2008 at Concordia University on the 1968 social crises . All continents were shaken by a wave of protest which was not only held by students: workers also took part in what was to disrupt politics, culture, and customs in a world emerging from the Post-War period. What has happened? What is now the legacy of this period? Seventeen specialists from around the world provide rich and original analyses of the 1968 events in Québec, France, Germany, Africa, Asia and the United States.
