Synopsis

Fêted French cartoonist Tardi masterfully
dramatizes the activist and singer Dominique
Grange’s gripping first-person account of the
powerful student protest movements that
rocked France from the ’60s to the ’70s.
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 radicalized by the Algerian War and
the poor treatment of Algerian immigrants in Paris. For the
next 20 years, she would join the fight against labor exploitation,
social injustice, and racism in France ― risking it all for progressive
causes.
The firsthand account of activist and singer Dominique Grange,
Elise and the New Partisans is an authentic and 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.
