Review # 1 was written on 2015-04-08 00:00:00 Juan Mendiola Finally got around to reading Cohn-Bendit & Cohn-Bendit. It's a great read for many reasons one of which is insight into what French student militants, eg the 22 March Movement, were reading in the 1960s. Cohn-Bendit records the influence of Socialisme ou Barbarie (Castoriadis/Chaulieu/Cardan, Lefort, Gautrat/Mothe, Bourdet, Simon), L'Internationale Situationniste (Debord, Vaneigem), Informations et Liaison Ouvrieres (Lefort, Simon), Noir et Rouge (Bourdet). All these journals advocated workers self-organization in councils--council communism or libertarian socialism (if you prefer)--and were connected to worker militants. The contrast with the reading of US student militants (SDS) is striking--CW Mills, Studies on the Left, Monthly Review, The Guardian (moving from Deweyian pragmatism to Maoism). In Detroit, there was Correspondence and News & Letters, but they were a bit isolated even though Marcuse notes their significance in One Dimensional Man. Not that reading material changes the world, but the difference between factory occupations and a general strike in France and the Progressive Labor Party and Weather Underground in the US may have have had a relation to "understanding the world".

Review # 2 was written on 2019-11-17 00:00:00 James Dunlap If you think Debord had a huge importance in the May '68 insurrection you would be wrong. It was Cohn-Bendit and this is the book he wrote throughout it all. There is nothing spectacular about this book, but it is important to set the record as straight as possible as to the goings on of the event--even if Debord is more interesting and fun to read.
