AMELIA ROSSELLI’S GENERAL STRIKE 1969


…We had to

express something better: allow ourselves

this rhetoric that was a howl

of protest against undaunted

destruction in our frightened

houses. (I lost that vertical

love of solitary god

revolutionizing myself in the people

removing myself from heaven.)

  1. This is great. I’m presenting a paper on the general strike later this month at APSA. Can you offer any context on the author, or suggest any further readings?
