Un viaggio inutile
Nel 1962 Rossana Rossanda viene inviata dal Partito comunista italiano nella Spagna franchista - dove si avvertivano i primi segni di sgretolamento del regime - con l'incarico di riannodare i fili dell'opposizione, non più ricomposti dopo la guerra civile. Ma la peregrinazione, peraltro clandestina, si rivela priva di senso. Le risposte degli esponenti delle organizzazioni illegali sono ambigue, diffidenti, immature. È il centro-destra a porsi concretamente come forza di ricambio, proponendo un'esperienza storica nuova, cioè la liquidazione di un fascismo dall'interno della stessa classe che l'ha creato.
L'esperienza frustrante di tale inutile viaggio, che questo libro racconta con ironia e sapienza narrativa, diventa per Rossanda un punto di snodo, che ritornerà più volte negli anni: «è la storia di quando, per la prima volta, a me membro del comitato centrale del Partito comunista, i conti non tornarono».

About the author
Rossana Rossanda
56 books10 followersRossanda was born in Pula (Croatia), then part of Italy. She studied in Milan and was a pupil of philosopher Antonio Banfi. At a very young age, she took part in the Italian resistance and, after the end of World War II, she entered the Italian Communist Party (PCI). After a short period, secretary Palmiro Togliatti named her responsible of culture in the party. She was elected for the first time in the Italian Chamber of Deputies in 1963.
In 1968 she published a small essay, entitled L'anno degli studenti ("The Year of the students"), in which she declared her support to the youth movement. Rossanda was part of a minority inside PCI that was against the Soviet Union, and, together with Luigi Pintor, Valentino Parlato and Lucio Magri founded the party and newspaper il manifesto. This caused her expulsion from the Communist Party after its XII National Congress held in Bologna.
At the 1972 elections, Il Manifesto obtained only the 0,8% of the votes. It therefore merged with the Proletarian Unity Party, forming the Proletarian Unity Party for Communism. She later abandoned party politics but kept her role as director of il manifesto.
Rossanda is currently is a member of the editorial board of Sin Permiso.
