Binding: Hardcover
Description: In May 1968, France exploded. Leftist student groups occupied the streets of Paris riot police clashed with protesters and a general strike spread across France like wildfire threatening to grind government and industry to a halt. And at the heart of it all - Elise. Ten years earlier Elise came to Paris to try her luck in show business. While she met with success as a pop singer she soon found herself radicalised by the Algerian War and the poor treatment of Algerian immigrants in Paris. For the next 20 years she would join the fight against labour exploitation social injustice and racism in France - risking it all for progressive causes. The veiled autobiography of singer Dominique Grange Elise AND THE NEW Resistance is an exhilarating glimpse into the front lines of the spirited social movements of late - 20th century France. Drawn with typical mastery by legendary French cartoonist Tardi this graphic novel resonates powerfully at a time when the fight against injustice still rages.
