Being a student at Americus High School was the worst experience of Greg Wittkamper's life. Greg came from a nearby Christian commune, Koinonia, whose members devoutly and publicly supported racial equality.

El movimiento estudiantil del 68, nadie lo duda, cambió para siempre a México. Paco Ignacio Taibo II ha rescatado sus notas de entonces y las reflexiones que han venido después, para evitar que el tiempo desgaste el detalle de lo ocurrido y mantener viva la memoria de una generación con la voluntad de cambiar este país a través de la movilización social. En 68 Taibo II busca dar respuesta a algunas preguntas que, a más de cuatro décadas, rondan en la cabeza de quienes vivieron los sucesos, y de las generaciones posteriores que no quieren ignorar de dónde venimos.

In 1968, at the climax of the '60s, Os Guinness visited the United States for the first time. There he was struck by an impression he’d already felt in England and elsewhere: Beneath all the idealism and struggle for freedom was a growing disillusionment and loss of meaning. “Underneath the efforts of a generation”, he wrote, “lay dust”. Even more troubling, Christians seemed uninformed about the cultural shifts and ill-equipped to respond. Guinness took on these concerns by writing his first book, The Dust of Death.
