through italy groups and movements such as proletarian youth metropolitan indians and the area of autonomy practised new forms of activism confrontational and often violent creative and brutal intransigent and playful the movements flourished briefly before being suppressed through heavy policing and political exclusion more work less pay is the first full length study in english of these movements building on sidney tarrow s cycle of contention model and drawing on a range of italian materials it tells the story of a unique and fascinating group of political movements and of their disastrous engagement with the mainstream left as well as shedding light on a neglected period of twentieth century history this book offers lessons for understanding today s contentious movements no global black bloc and today s armed struggle groups phil edwards is a research fellow at manchester metropolitan university reviews these movements deserve to be studied and understood phil edwards book helps us in this understanding john foot bulletin of italian politics this is a serious piece of work that deserves a much wider readership paul anderson red pepper review by henry farrell crooked timber where to get it manchester university press blackwells amazon co uk preface excerpt fare fight in milan ever since milan s communist socialist government proposed a fare rise for the city s bus and underground services a constant direct action campaign has been waged against the public transport authorities the campaign which has attracted support from autonomia groups circoli giovanili youth circles the indians and also the highly opportunistic leninist groups lotta continua and mls has been organised by the recently formed lega libertaria libertarian league a tube occupation one saturday in october went like this on arrival one comrade walked through the ticket barrier to be stopped by the ticket controller several others appeared to give support to the first and this exchange took place this is a demonstration against the proposed fare increases it is not a violent demonstration so please stay calm all right but i must go and report it look we said a peaceful demonstration but not a pacifist one so just make yourself comfortable and stay put by now other comrades had succeeded in blocking all the ticket machines with bits of metal plastic and generous helpings of glue others were giving out leaflets and others inviting people through the barriers for free while the lega libertaria recognise many other areas of struggle that need to be fought and won milan s anarchists and libertarians are determined to make these liberatory actions a daily feature of the city s life until everyone rides for free i first read this news story in december 1977 when it appeared in the anarchist anarca feminist monthly zero even in that context it seemed like a bulletin from another planet i was taken aback by the group s unapologetically forceful version of non violent direct action and by its goal which seemed at once surprisingly mundane and wildly utopian at the same time i was fascinated by the glimpse of a seething pool of competing radical groups from leninists to the enigmatic indians all united in the cause of cutting the cost of living through wildcat sabotage years later studying italian politics i remembered the milan tube action and wondered if the literature could tell me how things had turned out i couldn t find much on the period in english but my attention was caught by sidney tarrow s study of an earlier italian protest cycle tarrow showed how in the late 1960s and early 1970s a wave of contentious and disorderly activism spread across the country before being neutralised and absorbed into the political mainstream this book traces the progress of a second wave of activism which was not absorbed and neutralised but excluded and defeated its two progenitors are tarrow and zero contents
