Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. In Capitalism and Culture, Henry Giroux argues that culture has now become the central front in a global struggle for democracy. Drawing on thinkers from Bourdieu and Gramsci to Stuart Hall and Edward Said, Giroux exposes how capitalism and authoritarianism now fuse into a single 'disimagination machine' one that erases memory, normalises cruelty and trains citizens to accept injustice as common sense.Across essays and interviews, he shows that fascism is not only a political or economic project but a cultural one, sustained through spectacle, distraction and the control of language, media, and technology. Yet culture also holds the means of resistance: it can awaken conscience, preserve memory and cultivate the imagination necessary for solidarity and change.Giroux calls for a renewed cultural and pedagogical revolution one that reclaims education, art, and media as spaces for civic courage and hope. Against the culture of cruelty, he urges the creation of a culture of freedom.Capitalism and Culture is an essential manifesto for artists, educators, curators and citizens who see culture not as entertainment but as the ground on which democracy itself will stand or fall. Capitalism and Culture brings together Henry Giroux's most urgent writings, arguing that culture - far from being marginal - has become the central battleground in the struggle against rising totalitarianism. To resist, Giroux calls for a cultural revolution, one that reclaims the arts, education, and imagination as forces for democracy.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. In 1974, photographers Terry Dennett Jo Spence made repeated visits to 'illegal' Gypsy and Traveller sites in and around London. They got to know the people who lived there, documenting their lives in sound and image. The results of their project never formed a dedicated exhibition or a comprehensive publication, either then or since. Our Studio Was The World makes this powerful and still strikingly relevant work accessible to a new audience, with freshly scanned (and in some cases newly discovered) images and previously unpublished texts. As Dennett commented, Gypsies and Travellers were 'persecuted terribly. talk about the Nazis!' Today, they remain socially marginalised, over-policed and discriminated against.Together and individually, Terry Dennett and Jo Spence are among the most influential figures in radical British photography, with their impact extending far beyond image-making - into publishing, exhibiting, teaching and shaping photographic theory. Our Studio Was The World is the first in a ground-breaking trilogy of books - alongside Terry Dennett: The Crisis Project and Jo Spence: The Unknown Recordings - which explores their unpublished work, ideas and committed socialist perspective. Terry Dennett and Jo Spence are among the most influential figures in radical British photography. In 1974, they recorded life in 'illegal' Gypsy and Traveller sites in and around London. Never before comprehensively exhibited or published, their powerful and still strikingly relevant work is now accessible for the first time.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Regarded as one of the most significant and far-reaching photobooks in the history of the medium, Street Life in London - first published in 1877 - is a ground-breaking work of social documentation which brought together for the first time images, analysis and the spoken word to provide a new kind of proximity to the conditions of poverty. This new edition presents these exceptional images in their original rich tones and remarkable detail, together with the full original text and a new historical introduction.When, in the 1870s, Street Life in London's authors, photographer John Thomson and journalist Adolphe Smith, set out to profile the people who worked and lived on the city's streets, they did not expect their project to last only a year. Both wanted to revolutionise the representation of poverty, each in his own way, and in many of their images and texts they succeeded - a quality which makes their book thrillingly innovative to today's readers, but which left Victorian viewers baffled.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. The Erasure of Palestine is the outcome of a three-year journey by award-winning photographer and filmmaker Ahmad Al-Bazz, who set out to document what remains of the hundreds of Palestinian villages and towns depopulated and destroyed during the creation and expansion of Israel from 1948 to the present.Today, unmistakable traces of destroyed Palestinian communities haunt nearly every Israeli settlement, revealing not just a past catastrophe but an ongoing process a continuing history of colonisation and removal. Combining visual evidence, field research and historical testimony, Al-Bazz shows that what began as a single act of ethnic cleansing has evolved into a sustained strategy of occupation and erasure.Through more than 80 haunting photographs and incisive accompanying essays, The Erasure of Palestine exposes the physical and psychological landscapes of disappearance, offering a stark counter-narrative to the dominant historical record. This landmark work stands as both documentation and resistance an urgent appeal to remember what is continually being denied.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Jo Spence: The Unknown Recordings opens an unfiltered window onto one of Britain's most influential and uncompromising photographers. Drawn from newly-discovered tapes, documents and unpublished photographs sourced from private and institutional collections, the material reveals a voice far more intimate, direct and searching than anything previously published.At its core are two extraordinary audio recordings: a seven-hour British Library interview in which Spence reflects with forensic clarity on her early life, her political formation, her experience of class and the responsibilities of documentary practice; and a deeply personal self-recorded tape - made only for herself - in which she thinks through work, illness, relationships and the conditions of her own life. Together they form the most sustained and revealing account of her inner world.The book also includes previously unseen images of the small London flat that served as her home, studio, workspace and meeting place: a space that helped shape her working life and her political imagination.Intense, candid and often devastatingly honest, The Unknown Recordings offers a sustained, unvarnished account of a working life shaped by precarious housing, chronic illness and low-paid, self-directed work - a unique insight into Jo Spence's mind, methods and convictions. And an essential resource for anyone interested in photography, feminism, working-class cultural history, and the ways in which personal experience and political commitment can be woven into a lifelong practice.
