What did French intellectuals have to say about Gaullism, the Cold War colonialism, the women's movement, and the events of May '68?

In this accessible study, he explores why there was a radical reassessment of the intellectual's role in the mid 1970s-80s and how a new generation engaged with Islam, racism, the Balkan Wars and the strikes of 1995.
