Agitate! Educate! Organize!: American Labor Posters
ISBN: 9780801474279 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "We seek to inform as well as to celebrate. The best posters about American workers and the jobs at which they labor make up a visually fascinating body of work that rewards our attention. The posters were produced with a dual purpose: to entertain and to inform. They were also vehicles for working people to present themselves visually, which is rarely as straightforward as it might seem because the labor force itself is not monolithic. Nor are the posters about just paid or wage labor. They repeatedly demonstrate that labor issues include both the workplace and the outside community and...

ISBN: 9780791472781 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Decadent Culture in the United States traces the development of the decadent movement in America from its beginnings in the 1890s to its brief revival in the 1920s. During the fin de siecle, many Americans felt the nation had entered a period of decline since the frontier had ended and the country's "manifest destiny" seemed to be fulfilled. Decadence--the cultural response to national decline and individual degeneracy so familiar in nineteenth-century Europe--was thus taken up by groups of artists and writers in major American cities such as New York, Boston, Chicago, and San Francisco....

Taken together, the essays model different ways of approaching Latin America's urban centers not only as places that inspire...
