The first comprehensive study of the German autonomous movement ever published. Released in 1990, it reached its fifth edition by 1997, with the legendary German journal Konkret concluding that 'the movement had produced its own classic.' The author, writing under the pseudonym of Geronimo, has been an autonomous activist since the movement burst onto the scene in 1980-81. He here traces its origins in the Italian Autonomia project and the German social movements of the 1970s, before describing the battles for squats, 'free spaces' and alternative forms of living.
