Photography and social movements : from the globalisation of the movement (1968) to the movement against globalisation (2001) / Antigoni Memou. - xiv, 172 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm

Focusing on the photographic production and dissemination during the student and worker uprising in Paris in May 1968, the Zapatista rebellion, and the anti-capitalist protests in Genoa in 2001, this book argues that at times of political uprisings, photographic documentations, often contradictory, strive to prevail in the public domain, extending the political or economic struggle to a representational level.
