Abstract

Yolande Cohen, May 1968 : The Student Movement as a Generational Movement ? ; The history of the student protest movement suggests a generational analysis. The events of May 1968 were the starting point of such an interpretation which deals both with a generational upheaval and the perspective of establishing the student movement as an autonomous one. An overview of the studies devoted to the 1960s shows how little is said about such a movement. Linked to the emancipation of the working class, or considered as a revolt of the affluent, the student protest is rarely studied as such ; which explains the relative success of its interpretation as a generational phenomenon.
