Radical Sensations World Movements Violence And Visual Culture

"Focusing on the vast archive of images and texts created by radicals prior to the 1930s, Shelley Streeby analyses representations of violence and of abuses of state power in response to the Haymarket police riot, of the trial and execution of Chicago anarchists, and of the mistreatment and imprisonment of Ricardo and Enrique Flores Magón and other members of the Partido Liberal Mexicano. Illuminating the adaptation and critique of sentiment, sensation, and visual culture by radical world movements, Streeby sheds new light on the ways that they reached across national boundaries, criticized state power, and envisioned alternative worlds.
