The Subversive Seventies

In The Subversive Seventies, Michael Hardt sets out to show that popular understandings of the political movements of the seventies-often seen as fractious, violent, and largely unsuccessful-are not just inaccurate, but foreclose valuable lessons for the political struggles of today. Looking at a wide range of movements around the globe during the 1970s, from the United States, to Guinea Bissau, South Korea, Chile, Turkey, and Italy, Hardt argues that the
movements of the 1970s identified and attempted to resolve the political problems that still face contemporary radical political thought and action.
