Un mouvement social à réévaluer: Les Comités De Libération
Decolonizing 1968: Transnational Student Activism in Tunis, Paris, and Dakar
Mathieu Dubois, Génération politique. Les « années 68 » dans les jeunesses des partis politiques en France et en RFA: Paris, Presses de l’université Paris-Sorbonne, 2014, 502 p
This is an important book. While there have been plenty of studies looking at aspects of “global 1968” which focus on the manifold social movements and radical political organizations at that time, few historians have investigated the impact “1968” had on mainstream political parties and their supportive milieus. Mathieu Dubois does precisely what few others have considered worthwhile. In a series of well-informed, detailed and insightful chapter…
Philippe Buton, Histoire du gauchisme. L’héritage de Mai 68: Paris, Perrin, 2021, 560 p
In 1960, according to Philippe Buton, the French Far Left was no more than 200 activists strong, growing to still no more than 600 in 1965. Even on New Year’s Day 1968, its total numbers exceeded no more than 3.000, a pittance by all accounts compared to, for instance, the vast sea of members and sympathizers of the French Communist Party in the 1960s. Then, suddenly, the Far Left’s numbers grew exponentially, with about 30.000 individuals belong…
The Moment of Liberation in Western Europe: Power Struggles and Rebellions, 1943-1948
The moment of liberation in Western Europe, 1943-1948, regards the final two years of World War II and the immediate post-liberation period as a moment in twentieth century history, when the shape and contours of postwar Western Europe appeared highly uncertain and various alternatives and conflicting visions were up for grabs. After close to six years of total war, Nazi terror and brutal occupation policies, a growing number of Europeans were no…

The Spirit of Vatican II: Western European Progressive Catholicism in the Long Sixties
This book is a transnational survey of the radical dynamic unleashed by the innovations emerging from Vatican II. It highlights the intellectual and activist contribution by Catholic thinkers, priests, and laypersons in shaping the turbulent decade of the ‘sixties’ in Western Europe. The book focuses on five crucial contributions by Catholic activists and communities to the burgeoning atmosphere of those turbulent years: (a) the theological innov…
Progressive and Conservative Religious Ideologies: The Tumultuous Decade of the 1960s

Gli Alleati e la Resistenza italiana
Western European Liberation Theology: The First Wave, 1924-1959
This book studies the development of a distinct, progressive variant of Catholicism in 20th century Western Europe. This Left Catholicism served to lay the basis for the subsequent events and evolutions associated with Vatican II. Initially emerging within the boundaries of Catholic Action, fuelled by the growing power and self‐confidence of the Catholic laity, a series of challenges to received wisdom and an array of novel experiments were launc…
The Spirit of ’68: Rebellion in Western Europe and North America,1956–1976
In virtually all corners of the Western world, 1968 witnessed a highly unusual sequence of popular rebellions. In Italy, France, Spain, Vietnam, the United States, West Germany, Czechoslovakia, Mexico, and elsewhere, millions of individuals took matters into their own hands to counter imperialism, capitalism, autocracy, bureaucracy, and all forms of hierarchical thinking. Recent reinterpretations have sought to play down any real challenge to the…

Left Catholicism 1943-1955, Catholics and Society in Western Europe at the Point of Liberation
From ‘Radical’ to ‘Realistic’: Hendrik de Man and the International Plan Conferences at Pontigny and Geneva, 1934–1937
When at Christmas 1933 the Belgian Workers' Party adopted the Plan de Man to guide its forward march to socialism, European critics of unfettered capitalist development listened carefully. Deeply worried by Hitler's legal rise to power, socialist activists and intellectuals were then searching for new answers to the crises of their day, and many believed that they had found a blueprint in the Plan. Inspired by the activist politician Hendrik de M…
Gender and Class in the Twentieth Century
Few nonspecialists know that Belgium was the first continental European country to benefit and suffer from the Industrial Revolution. Resulting in part from this heritage and also building on an even older tradition of textile manufacturing dating back to the High Middle Ages, Belgium is home to a number of high-quality museums and institutions showcasing and researching the age of industry and its corresponding social movements. Two such organiz…
Creating German Communism, 1890-1990: From Popular Protest to Socialist State
European Socialists Respond to Fascism: Ideology, Activism and Contingency in the 1930s
Based on documents collected in six European countries, European Socialists Respond to Fascism: Ideology, Activism and Contingency in the 1930s is a transnational study of largely parallel developments in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, and Spain in the years 1933-1936. Triggered into action by the shock effect of the Nazi rise to power in Germany, socialists throughout Western Europe entered an unusually active period of practical reorientati…
