Seeing through Race A Reinterpretation of Civil Rights Photography


Free Download Martin A. Berger, "Seeing through Race: A Reinterpretation of Civil Rights Photography"

Seeing through Race is a boldly original reinterpretation of the iconic photographs of the black civil rights struggle. Martin A. Berger’s provocative and groundbreaking study shows how the very pictures credited with arousing white sympathy, and thereby paving the way for civil rights legislation, actually limited the scope of racial reform in the 1960s. Berger analyzes many of these famous images―dogs and fire hoses turned against peaceful black marchers in Birmingham, tear gas and clubs wielded against voting-rights marchers in Selma―and argues that because white sympathy was dependent on photographs of powerless blacks, these unforgettable pictures undermined efforts to enact―or even imagine―reforms that threatened to upend the racial balance of power.

Time, Labor, and Social Domination A Reinterpretation of Marx’s Critical Theory


Free Download Moishe Postone, "Time, Labor, and Social Domination: A Reinterpretation of Marx’s Critical Theory"
English | 2006 | pages: 442 | ISBN: 0521565405, 0511570929 | PDF | 28,5 mb
In this ambitious book, Moishe Postone undertakes a fundamental reinterpretation of Marx’s mature critical theory. He calls into question many of the presuppositions of traditional Marxist analyses and offers new interpretations of Marx’s central arguments. These interpretations lead him to a very different analysis of the nature and problems of capitalism and provide the basis for a critique of "actually existing socialism." According to this new interpretation, Marx identifies the central core of the capitalist system with an impersonal form of social domination generated by labor itself and not simply with market mechanisms and private property. Proletarian labor and the industrial production process are characterized as expressions of domination rather than as means of human emancipation. This reformulation relates the form of economic growth and the structure of social labor in modern society to the alienation and domination at the heart of capitalism. It provides the foundation for a critical social theory that is more adequate to late twentieth-century capitalism.
