Mustapha Khayati is a Tunisian social critic.
Mustapha Khayati was a member of the Situationist International in the 1960s. Together with Guy Debord, he wrote the pamphlet "De la misère en milieu étudiant" in 1966. Ten thousand copies were printed at the expense of the Association Fédérative Générale des Étudiants de Strasbourg.
The pamphlet was translated as On the Poverty of Student Life by Chris Gray.
Attacking the subservience of university students and the strategies of student radicals, it caused significant uproar, led to the dissemination of Situationist ideas, and precipitated the events of May 1968 in France.
