Sumario:This study uses critical theory to answer key gender-related questions about the Red Army Faction (RAF), which terrorised West Germany from the 1970s to the 1990s. The questions include: Why were women so prominent in the RAF? And what does the continuing cultural response to the German armed struggle tell us about the representation of violence, power, and gender today? The book analyses works by pivotal writers and artists that point beyond militancy and terrorism to disclose the failures of the Far Left and register the radical potential that RAF women actually forfeited.
