A Radical in Paris
These books will help you engage with all that Paris embodies this summer!
Paris is constantly changing as a living organism, both for better and for worse. Its radical history, from the French Revolution and Paris Commune to the continual fight against the pension reform law today, has much to teach us. As does the nation’s relationship to colonialism, empire, and islamophobia, where the country’s leaders and local oligarchs are attempting to raise a neoliberal revolution from above.
