Description
The Subversive Seventies by Michael Hardt is a thought-provoking reconsideration of how revolutionary movements in the 1970s shaped contemporary activism. This decade saw widespread social and political upheaval, as various progressive and revolutionary groups challenged authority and laid siege to established power structures. From indigenous peasant armies to gay liberation organizations, anti-nuclear activists, and Black liberation militants, subversive elements were present across the left. The forces of order responded with zeal and brutality, seeking to root out and destroy these challenges. In this book, Michael Hardt sets out to show that popular understandings of the 1970s are often inaccurate, but still offer valuable lessons for today's political struggles. Hardt provides a novel account of the theoretical and practical projects of liberation that continue to influence radical politics, many of which have been forgotten over time. By examining the subversive movements of the 1970s, Hardt offers an inspiring guide for contemporary radical thought and action.
