La grande rivoluzione in marcia [The great revolution marching].Newark: L'Adunata dei Refrattari, 1940.

Gold O’Bay was one of several pseudonyms used by Tintino Rasi (b. Genoa, 1893; d. Philadelphia, 1963).

Rasi was an anarchist at an early age in Genoa, where he was under constant surveillance by the police for his political activities. In 1921, along with Renzo Novatore, whose work is also in the Collection, he edited the anarcho-individualist and futurist journal Vertice. During the 1930s, he wrote for L’Adunata dei Refrattari in Newark. in 1938, he settled in Philadelphia, and collaborated with Virgilio Gozzoli in New York in anti-fascist activities.

These are the first three journals in a series covering social issues. The first pamphlet introduces itself as the first series of journals or notebooks, quaderni, as “Quaderni sui problemi sociali”  (Notebook  of  Social  issues),  and states that each will address a separate social issue of “our time.” Each volume promotes the Galleanisti anarchist newspaper, L’Adunata dei  Refrattari, on the rear cover.
