Combining a merciless expos\u00e9 of left-wing political folly and cross-cultural misunderstanding with a spirited defense of the 1960s, <span class=\"a-text-italic\">The Wind from the East<\/span> tells the colorful story of this legendary period in France. Richard Wolin shows how French students and intellectuals, inspired by their perceptions of the Cultural Revolution, and motivated by utopian hopes, incited grassroots social movements and reinvigorated French civic and cultural life.<\/p>\n<p>Wolin&#8217;s riveting narrative reveals that Maoism&#8217;s allure among France&#8217;s best and brightest actually had little to do with a real understanding of Chinese politics. Instead, it paradoxically served as a vehicle for an emancipatory transformation of French society. French student leftists took up the trope of &#8220;cultural revolution,&#8221; applying it to their criticisms of everyday life. Wolin examines how Maoism captured the imaginations of France&#8217;s leading cultural figures, influencing Sartre&#8217;s &#8220;perfect Maoist moment&#8221;; Foucault&#8217;s conception of power; Sollers&#8217;s chic, leftist intellectual journal <span class=\"a-text-italic\">Tel Quel<\/span>; as well as Kristeva&#8217;s book on Chinese women&#8211;which included a vigorous defense of foot-binding.<\/p>\n<p>Recounting the cultural and political odyssey of French students and intellectuals in the 1960s, <em><strong><span class=\"a-text-italic\">The Wind from the East<\/span><\/strong><\/em> illustrates how the Maoist phenomenon unexpectedly sparked a democratic political sea change in France.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Table of Contents:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"id-2-panel-2\" class=\"v1s7mf-4 eBcaLJ\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"region\" data-test=\"pdp-description-accordion-panel-2\" aria-labelledby=\"id-2-button-2\">\n<div class=\"styles__PanelWrapper-sc-1d9kdqm-3 iUhVOL\" data-test=\"pdp-description-toc-panel\">\n<p class=\"styles__Chapter-sc-1d9kdqm-7 dddHHU\">Prologue ix<\/p>\n<p class=\"styles__Chapter-sc-1d9kdqm-7 dddHHU\">Introduction: The Maoist Temptation 1<\/p>\n<p class=\"styles__Chapter-sc-1d9kdqm-7 dddHHU\">Part I: The Hour of Rebellion<\/p>\n<p class=\"styles__Chapter-sc-1d9kdqm-7 dddHHU\">Chapter 1: Showdown at Bruay-en-Artois 25<\/p>\n<p class=\"styles__Chapter-sc-1d9kdqm-7 dddHHU\">Chapter 2: France during the 1960s 39<\/p>\n<p class=\"styles__Chapter-sc-1d9kdqm-7 dddHHU\">Chapter 3: May 1968: The Triumph of Libidinal Politics 70<\/p>\n<p class=\"styles__Chapter-sc-1d9kdqm-7 dddHHU\">Chapter 4: Who Were the Maoists? 109<\/p>\n<p class=\"styles__Chapter-sc-1d9kdqm-7 dddHHU\">Excursus: On the Sectarian Maoism of Alain Badiou 155<\/p>\n<p class=\"styles__Chapter-sc-1d9kdqm-7 dddHHU\">Part II: The Hour of the Intellectuals<\/p>\n<p class=\"styles__Chapter-sc-1d9kdqm-7 dddHHU\">Chapter 5: Jean-Paul Sartre&#8217;s Perfect Maoist Moment 179<\/p>\n<p class=\"styles__Chapter-sc-1d9kdqm-7 dddHHU\">Chapter 6: Tel Quel in Cultural-Political Hell 233<\/p>\n<p class=\"styles__Chapter-sc-1d9kdqm-7 dddHHU\">Chapter 7: Foucault and the Maoists: Biopolitics and<\/p>\n<p class=\"styles__Chapter-sc-1d9kdqm-7 dddHHU\">Engagement 288<\/p>\n<p class=\"styles__Chapter-sc-1d9kdqm-7 dddHHU\">Chapter 8: The Impossible Heritage: From Cultural Revolution to Associational Democracy 350<\/p>\n<p class=\"styles__Chapter-sc-1d9kdqm-7 dddHHU\">Bibliography 371<\/p>\n<p class=\"styles__Chapter-sc-1d9kdqm-7 dddHHU\">Index 385<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em><strong><span class=\"a-text-bold\">Richard Wolin<\/span><\/strong><\/em> is professor of history and comparative literature at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.
