More Than Fashion: The Political Context Of Revolutionary Struggle

with Christina Gerhardt

Lucy Parsons Center

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

time: 7 PM

In the 1970s, numerous armed struggle groups in West Germany rose up.  
While a spate of new films, art exhibits and books have revisited the  
era in light of the 40th anniversary of the 1968 student  
demonstrations in Berlin and the 30th anniversary of the "German  
Autumn" of 1977, its explorations of the groups and their politics  
tend to eclipse a thorough exploration of international and domestic  
political struggles. Christina Gerhardt will present some of the era's  
groups, such as the Red Army Faction, the June 2 Movement, the  
Revolutionary Cells and the Red Zora, contextualizing their critiques  
and actions in the international and domestic events of the time.

The Lucy Parsons Center is located at 549 Columbus Ave in Boston's  
South End. Easily accessible by bike, bus (#1), and T (Mass Ave or  
Symphony stops). more info www.lucyparsons.org
