Long before Antonio Negri became famous around the world for his
groundbreaking volume Empire, he was infamous across Europe for the
incendiary writings contained in this book. Books for Burning
consists of five pamphlets that Negri wrote between 1971 and 1977,
which attempt to identify and draw lessons from new conditions of
class struggle that emerged in the course of the 1970s. Conceived
as organizational hypotheses intended for debate among the members
of the political movements Workers' Power (Potere operaio) and
Organized Autonomy (Autonomia organizzata), these texts were later
misread and misrepresented by the Italian state in its attempt to
frame Negri as responsible for the assassination of former Italian
president Aldo Moro, as the leader of the Red Brigades, and as the
mastermind of an armed insurrection against the state. In the more
than twenty-five years since their first publication, these texts
have lost none of their originality, relevance or power to shock.
In a new preface, Negri demonstrates how his controversial work on
empire, biopolitics and immaterial labor developed out of concepts
and strategies first outlined in this book, and an editorial
introduction analyzes the role these texts played in Negri's trial
and in the criminalization of the Italian radical workers'
movement.
