| Abstract | "Marcasciano's memoir sheds light on her experience in left-wing movements in Italy during the 1970s and early 1980s, at the outset of which 'coming out' was not yet a phenomenon in Italy and many preferred or were forced to repress their non-normative identities for fear of social repercussions. She details her trajectory toward an increased awareness of her sexuality. During her time in the cosmopolitan cities of Naples, Rome, and Bologna, she engages in consciousness raising and eventually succeeds in uniting the personal and the political, a practice that was common to women and people of queer identities. The book ends when AIDS hits Italy in the early 1980s. Marcasciano's memoir is one of few Italian texts to meticulously map out the main movements and political struggles of the 1970s and '80s from a queer perspective. Furthermore, AntoloGaia is the first work of Italian literature to use gender-inclusive language, a practice that is only starting to be taken seriously in Italy at the present time"-- Provided by publisher. |
