{"product_id":"the-unseen-paperback-3","title":"The Unseen - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor a brief explosive period in the mid-1970s, the young and the unemployed of Italy's cities joined the workers in an unexpectedly militant movement known simply as Autonomy (\u003ci\u003eAutonomia\u003c\/i\u003e). Its \"politics of refusal\" united its opponents behind draconian measures more severe than any seen since the war. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNanni Balestrini, the poet of youth rebellion, himself a victim of that repression, has invented a remarkable fictional form to express the hopes and conflicts of the movement. In spare but vivid prose, The Unseen follows Autonomy's trajectory through the eyes of a single working-class protagonist--from high-school rebellion, squatting and attempts to set up a free radio station to arrest and the brutalities of imprisonment. This is a powerful and gripping novel: a rare evocation of the intensity of commitment, the passion of politics.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51373862256863,"sku":"9781844677672","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/t4L_RWvP759781844677672.webp?v=1789164487","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/the-unseen-paperback-3","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
