The revolutionary waves of 1968 crisscrossed the globe and involved a variety of forces of revolution in the US, from students to the Black and Latinx communities and the nascent women’s liberation movement. The Chicanx East LA school walkouts will get particular attention in our discussion. 1968 reached its revolutionary high point in France, where workers joined students in occupying everything, almost toppling the capitalist state. Important developments also occurred in Czechoslovakia, where an experiment in socialist humanism was crushed by Russian tanks, in Mexico where students faced massacre by the state, and with Japan’s radical student movement.

Suggested reading: Raya Dunayevskaya, Ch. 9 on 1968 of PHILOSOPHY AND REVOLUTION: “New Passions and New Forces: The Black Dimension, The Anti-Vietnam War Youth, Rank-and-File Labor, Women’s Liberation”
