“The songs really are some of the most direct expression of the collective voice of the movement.”  - Silvia Federici

 

For this week's episode, Charlie Morgan and Louise Barry interviewed Silvia Federici about Italian music in the 1960s and the Wages for Housework campaign.

 

Music:

 

"Prendiamoci La Città" by Pino Masi.

 

"Per i morti di Reggio Emilia" by Fausto Amodei

 

"O cancellier che tieni la penna in mano"

 

"La ballata della Pinelli" by Pino Masi

 

"Avete mai guardato" by Amalia Goffredo

 

All these songs are from records held at Interference Archive.  Likewise, copies of The Power of Women are also held at the archive, along with Tap Dance - the newspaper put out by the New York Wages for Housework campaign - and Lotta Continua.
