“Beneath the boardwalk, the beach.”
European media have started to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the May 1968 revolution which spread from Paris to the rest of Europe. Ironically, May 1968, coincided with the gradual demise of the Situationist International, the Marxist movement, an important precursor of May ’68.
Similar events took place two years later in the United States, with more tragic consequences.
