“Global 1968” is rarely considered to be a series of events and processes of relevance to the lifeworld of Catholicism or, for that matter, to the reality of any other religion experiencing the various contestations of that turbulent year. This vision of “1968” as an entirely secular event is reinforced by the prominence of various tendencies and manifestations of the political Left, the latter more often than not ignoring, or in open conflict with, religious authorities and religious beliefs. But for some time now, particularly in the Italian context, the contributions of a Catholic Left to that “moment of madness” most closely associated with “May 68” have become the topic of scholarly and activist concern. This book under review goes a long way to suggest that Left Catholicism in the late 1960s was not only an Italian peculiarity but also a French phenomenon.
