Kadour Naïmi came from Algeria to study in France in 1966, four years after his country’s liberation from colonial rule and two years before a different liberation movement exploded in France. Capturing the youthful enthusiasm and revolutionary earnestness of the young rebels he joined, Naïmi’s account of May ’68 is a memoir like no other. Spirited and inspiring, it manages transmit important historical lessons amid stories of sex, studies, and street-fighting. This is his first book published in English.
