Demanding the Impossible / Waiting for the Resistance
Author(s): Sylvia Lawson
Marking the centenary of Simone de Beauvoir's birth and the 40th anniversary of Paris's legendary political carnival in 1968, this book explores the inheritance of May 1968 and asks what has become of the ideal and the myth of resistance. It looks at contemporary history, such as the feminist movement and acts of resistance pertinent to Australia.
