In The Subversive Seventies Michael Hardt sets out to show that popular understandings of the political movements of the seventiesoften seen as fractious violent and largely unsuccessfulare not just inaccurate but foreclose valuable lessons for the political struggles of today While many accounts of the 1970s have been written about the regimes of domination that emerged throughout the decade Hardt approaches the subversive from the perspectives of those who sought to undermine the base of established authority and transform the fundamental structures of society In so doing he provides a novel account of the theoretical and practical projects of liberation that still speak to us today too many of which have been all but forgotten

The movements of the seventies responded directly to emerging neoliberal frameworks and other structures of power that continue to rule over us today They identified and confronted political problems that remain central for us The 1970s in this sense marks the beginning of our time Looking at a wide range of movements around the globe from the United States to Guinea Bissau South Korea Chile Turkey and Italy The Subversive Seventies provides a reassessment of the political action of the 1970s that sheds new light not only on our revolutionary past but also on what liberation can be and do today
