The Golden Horde is a definitive work on the Italian revolutionary
movements of the 1960s and ’70s. An anthology of texts and
fragments woven together with an original commentary, The
Golden Horde widens our understanding of the full complexity and
richness of radical thought and practice in Italy during the 1960s
and ’70s. The book covers the generational turbulence of
Italy’s postwar period, the transformations of Italian
capitalism, the new analyses by worker-focused intellectuals, the
student movement of 1968, the Hot Autumn of 1969, the
extra-parliamentary groups of the early 1970s, the Red Brigades,
the formation of a radical women’s movement, the development of
Autonomia, and the build-up to the watershed moment of the
spontaneous political movement of 1977. Far from being merely a
handbook of political history, The Golden Horde also sheds light on
two decades of Italian culture, including the newspapers, songs,
journals, festivals, comics, and philosophy that these movements
produced. The book features writings by Sergio Bologna, Umberto
Eco, Elvio Fachinelli, Lea Melandri, Danilo Montaldi, Toni Negri,
Raniero Panzieri, Franco Piperno, Rossana Rossanda, Paolo Virno,
and others, as well as an in-depth introduction by translator
Richard Braude outlining the work’s composition and development.
