A vital, lucid contribution to understanding how the red threads of Marxism are being rewoven into the fabric of twenty-first century radicalism.'Nick Dyer-Witheford, author of Cyber-Marx Storming Heaven is the first comprehensive survey of Italian autonomist theory, from its origins in the anti-stalinist and workerist left of the 1950's to its heyday twenty years later. Autonomist marxism was a political tendency which privileged themes--self-organisation, construction of identity, grassroots politics, subjects in struggle--which in many ways can be seen as the precursor of today's debates around direct action protest. Emphasising the dynamic nature of class struggle as the distinguishing feature of autonomist thought, Wright explores how its understanding of class politics developed alongside emerging social movements.Offering a critical and historical exploration of the tendency's emergence in postwar Italy, Storming Heaven moves beyond the crisis of traditional analytical frameworks on the left, and assesses the strengths and limitations of autonomist marxism as first developed by Antonio Negri, Mario Tronti, Sergio Bologna and others. 606 $aWorking class$zItaly$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aLabor movement$zItaly$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCommunism$zItaly$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aItaly$xPolitics and government$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWorking class$xHistory 615 0$aLabor movement$xHistory 615 0$aCommunism$xHistory 676 $a335.43/0945 700 $aWright$b Steve$f1958-$0962148 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455310903321 996 $aStorming heaven$92181434 997 $aUNINA
