Abstract
This article expands on the observations I made in September 2023 at the IX Conference of Study and Reflection on Student Movements, and summarizes the main points of my recent research reflected in Decolonizing 1968: Transnational Student Activism in Tunis, Paris, and Dakar. It is argued that the 1968 protests must be understood as a postcolonial moment and I explain my understanding of what it means to “decolonize” in 1968 in the Francophone world against how decolonial praxis has been articulated by key Latin American scholars. Finally, I offer vignettes of border-crossing activists such as Omar Blondin-Diop, Daniel Cohn-Bendit, and Michel Foucault.
