Blurb: “Raymond Aron examines the explosive student uprisings that swept France in May 1968 and nearly developed into a broader political crisis. Written in the immediate aftermath of the events, The Elusive Revolution considers what drove the revolt, the role of universities and intellectuals, generational conflict, consumer society, and the uneasy relationship between revolutionary rhetoric and political reality.
Originally published in France as La Révolution Introuvable, this English-language edition was translated by Gordon Clough and published by Praeger Publishers in 1969. Aron, one of France’s prominent twentieth-century political thinkers and sociologists, approaches the events critically while placing them within the wider wave of student unrest affecting Western universities during the late 1960s.
A fascinating period analysis for readers interested in May 1968, student protest movements, French history, political philosophy, sociology, counterculture, and the revolutionary politics of the 1960s.”
