Review of an autobiographical book by May 1968 figure Daniel Bensaïd.
Abstract: --
Excerpt:
An Impatient Life By Daniel Bensaïd Translated by David Fernbach Foreword by Tariq Ali Verso Books, 2013 and 2015, 392 pages, $19.95 paperback.
Bensaïd was an early leader of what would become the Revolutionary Communist League (LCR), French section of the Fourth International. He became widely known in France as one of the leaders of the student revolt of May 1968 that preceded the June general strike in which over seven million workers participated.
This book was first published in French in 2004 by Editions Stock under the title Une lente Impatience.
The political center of the book (and of his life) is Bensaïds experiences as an activist and leader of the LCR and the Fourth International and his deep involvement with the Latin American Left, particularly the Argentinian, Brazilian and Mexican from the 1970s on.
