Un <> per ricostruire e forse anche riuscire a capire le dinamiche degli anni più difficili del Dopoguerra italiano. Dal 12 dicembre 1969 al 23 dicembre 1984. Quindici anni terribili, aperti e chiusi da due orrende stragi di persone che avevano la sola colpa di essere degli italiani qualunque. Tra queste due date di sangue si snoda una storia che non ha avuto eguali in nessun Paese del mondo, una scia di morte nella quale ha preso parola una generazione di ragazzi che volevano fare la rivoluzione. Alcuni da sinistra, altri da destra. Nel mezzo lo Stato, colpito al cuore ma anche per certi versi complice o silente, e segreto utilizzatore di questa fase rivoluzionaria per consolidare se stesso attraverso quella che è stata chiamata la <>.
In questo libro, che non è un saggio né un manuale storico ma, come spiega il sottotitolo, un <>, si ricostruisce questa era della storia della Repubblica attraverso due puntuali cronologie degli <> e dei <>, i ritratti dei principali protagonisti e poi un'indispensabile appendice di bibliografia, musicografia e filmografia. Uno strumento per arricchire e far sedimentare la nostra memoria collettiva, poiché ciò che viviamo oggi è anche frutto di tutto questo. [Testo dell'editore]

• Introduction: Blame Kevin
• "The uncanny note of prophecy"
• Dark miracles
• Conspiracies to the Lef
• Dead deities
• A very British plot
• Holy blood, holy grail, holy shit
• A few clicks of a mouse
• Mr. Pooter forms a theory
• "I want my country back!"--Conclusion: Bedtime story.

• Towards a historical and sociological analysis of the criminalization of racial violence
• Progressive criminalization at the heart of darkness? : the legal response to the victimization of slaves in the colonial and antebellum South
• "Social equality is not a subject to be legislated upon" : the rise and fall of federal pro-black criminalization policy, 1865-1909
• "We bring it out in the open, where it can be seen and dealt with" : campaigning for criminalization reform in the long civil rights movement, 1909-1968
• Criminalizing racial hatred, legitimizing racial inequality : hate-crime laws and the new politics of pro-black criminalization
• Conclusion: Criminalization reform and egalitarian social change : an uneasy relationship.

This book explores the complex ways in which political debates and legal reforms regarding the criminalization of racial violence have shaped the development of American racial history. Spanning previous campaigns for criminalizing slave abuse, lynching, and Klan violence and contemporary debates about the legal response to hate crimes, this book reveals both continuity and change in terms of the political forces underpinning the enactment of new laws regarding racial violence in different periods and of the social and institutional problems that hinder the effective enforcement of these laws. A thought-provoking analysis of how criminal law reflects and constructs social norms, this book offers a new historical and theoretical perspective for analyzing the limits of current attempts to use criminal legislation as a weapon against racism.
