The book revisits “May ’68” by tracing experiences across different groups, including veterans, students in Paris, participants outside Paris, and contributors connected to film and broader political currents.

Jean-Pierre Duteuil (who I never had the opportunity to meet), Helen Arnold, Sebastian Budgen, Yves Coleman, Lou Marin, Marie-Pierre Fournier, Philippe Dubacq, and Christophe“Patsy” Patillon all assisted me in locating participants willing to be interviewed. Marie-Pierre is owed extra thanks for having located most of the participants in Saint-Nazaire and Nantes, as well as for having hosted me during my stay in the region and providing a home for the interviews.  \nSpace constraints forced me to omit several interviews, and I apologize to those involved. Every person I interviewed brought something new and interesting, and performing this triage was a difficult task. I apologize to Frank Cassenti, Yves Coleman, Helen Arnold, Daniel Blanchard, Eric Hazan, Catherine Lévy, Colette Danappe, Rémi Drouet, Scylla, and Joël Quélard. Transcripts of their interviews can be found at the Marxists Internet Archive—[www.marxists.org](www.marxists.org)—in the May ’68 archive of the French history section.  \nI can’t speak highly enough of the people I interviewed, of their warmth and generosity; people were generous not only with their time, but with the books and newspapers they’d saved since May ’68, feeling these would be more beneficial for this book and its readers than for them.","cbCair5P4zWFQ70f","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCair5P4zWFQ70f","pdf",1906245,316,"English","# Acknowledgements\n# Abbreviations\n# Timeline of Events in 1968\n# Introduction: May ’68 Revisited\n# Veterans in the Struggle\n# Students in Paris\n# May Outside Paris\n# May and Film\n# Some Anarchists\n# About the Author","[{\"question\":\"What kind of source material does May Made Me use to describe the 1968 uprising in France?\",\"answer\":\"It presents an oral history based on interviews with participants, including transcriptions referenced for further reading.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the book structure the story of May ’68?\",\"answer\":\"The contents section organizes the narrative by themes and locations, including veterans, students in Paris, and events outside Paris, plus segments on film and specific anarchists.\"},{\"question\":\"Who is credited with helping the author find interview participants?\",\"answer\":\"The acknowledgements list multiple individuals, noting especially assistance in locating participants in Saint-Nazaire and Nantes and hosting the author during the stay.\"}]","May Made Me - An Oral History of the 1968 Uprising in France | PDF",1790635202,487]
