Recensioner i media

At a time when the political imagination is again struggling to find adequate forms, this volume restores 1977 in Italy to its rightful place: not as a footnote between 1968 and the "years of lead," but as a decisive laboratory of antagonistic politics, cultural invention, and collective experimentation whose questions continue to haunt the present. [...]. It is not only a major contribution to the historiography of 1977; it is an invitation to think again, collectively, about what it might mean to live-and struggle-dangerously today
