Jean-Paul Sartre - Politics and Culture in Postwar France

This book offers an assessment of Sartre as an exemplary figure in the evolving political and cultural landscape of post-1945 France. A series of case-studies centred on Gaullism, communism, Maoism (Part 1), the theatre, art criticism and the media (Part 2), illustrate the continuing relevance and appeal of Sartre to the contemporary world.
