Aux origines de la génération 1968 : les étudiants français et la guerre du Vietnam

Origins of the 1968 generation: French Students and the Vietnam War (1965-1968), Laurent Jalabert. The mobilization of French students against the war in Vietnam from 1965 to 1968 often seemed like a rehearsal of May 1968: rival revolutionary ideological de- mands, creation of competitive student committees, and street demonstrations are the main characteristics of this very active anti-American campaign. The contestation created lasting bonds between the students and some universities whose research involved them in third-world issues. This commitment of French intellectual youth contributed to the political training of the 1968 generation.Jalabert Laurent.
