Reviews

'This is an exciting, informative, well-written and engaging book. It will make a significant contribution to the field and will be useful for students and academics with an interest in French Studies and the contemporary moment, while also of interest for the general reader. [May] tells an exciting story, driven by a focused attention to the fortunes of radical critical debate and the different forms that resistance to political orthodoxy has taken in and around Lignes since the more explicit and well-known moment of the 1960 and 1970s.'
Patrick ffrench, Kings College London

Reviews 'Up until this volume by May, no such monograph was available on this particular French intellectual review. However, Adrian May’s uncommon, very interesting, and even unique book gives a very good view of what they are missing.'
Kristof K.P. Vanhoutte, Philosophy in Review
