The student protests of 1968, followed by the Hot Autumn factory
strikes of 1969, shook the foundations of the Italian Republic.
They also prepared the way for a whole decade of intense and
widespread social conflict--a decade in which militant social
movements arose with new aspirations, centered on protagonists such
as women, young people and the unemployed. "States of Emergency"
provides a vivid reconstruction of the events and movements of that
period--from the students of 1968 to the Autonomists of 1977.
The book's title evokes both the emergence of new social subjects
and the crises they provoked in the social order. But Lumley also
looks at the paradoxes and contradictions of the movements, their
creative potential and ultimate failure. The political debates
which they initiated soon became part of the agenda of the Left
internationally.
Drawing on the work of theorists such as Umberto Eco, Alberto
Melucci, Norberto Bobbio and Antonio Negri, "States of Emergency"
is a vital contribution not only to Italy's social history but to
contemporary political discussion.
