Ranciere Jacques - Proletarian Nights The Workers Dream In Nineteenth - Century France - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Proletarian Nights previously published in English as Nights of Labor and one of Ranci re's most important works dramatically reinterprets the Revolution of 1830, contending that workers were not rebelling against specific hardships and conditions but against the unyielding predetermination of their lives. Through a study of worker - run newspapers letters journals and worker - poetry Ranci re reveals the contradictory and conflicting stories that challenge the coherence of these statements celebrating labor. This updated edition includes a new preface by the author revisiting the work twenty years since its first publication in France.
