"Memories of 1968 in France: reflections on the 40th anniversary". In Memories of 1968, Edited by: Waters, S. and Cornils, I. Bern: Peter Lang. [Google Scholar]. [2] Cf. Foot (2008 Foot, J. (2008) 'Looking back on "the long '68": divided memories, violence, history and nostalgia in Italy', keynote paper, Memories of 1968 Conference, University of Leeds, 17–18 April. [Google Scholar]). [3] More substantive recent autobiographies from the 'usual suspects' include Krivine (2006 Krivine, A. 2006. Ça te passera avec l'âge, Paris: Flammarion. [Google Scholar]) as well as the English translation of Debray (2007 Debray, R. 2007. Praised Be Our Lords, London: Verso. [Google Scholar]), while Gildea (2009 Gildea, R. 2009. Forty years on: French writing on 1968 in 2008. French History, 23(1): 108–119. [Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) discusses contributions by, amongst others, Jean-Pierre Duteil and Alain Geismar. In a neat historical symmetry, Alain Krivine's political 'son', Olivier Besancenot, has now offered his own account of Régis Debray's early political 'father', Che Guevara—for a critique of which see Martel (2008 Martel, F. 2008. Besancenot, le Che des PTT. Non-Fiction: Le magazine des livres et des idées, : 34–35, 94–95. [Google Scholar]). [4] Sirinelli has also co-edited a useful special issue of Vingtième Siècle, no. 98 (April–June 2008) entitled L'ombre portée de Mai 68. [5] Cf. Seidman (2004 Seidman, M. 2004. The Imaginary Revolution, Oxford: Berghahn. [Google Scholar]). [6] I am grateful to Jill Lovecy for this point. Cf. Vinen (1996 Vinen, R. 1996. France 1934–1970, Basingstoke: Macmillan. [Google Scholar], pp. 143–145).
