Radical Sensations - World Movements, Violence, and Visual Culture (Hardcover, New)

The significant anarchist, black, and socialist world-movements
that emerged in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth
adapted discourses of sentiment and sensation and used the era's
new forms of visual culture to move people to participate in
projects of social, political, and economic transformation. Drawing
attention to the vast archive of images and texts created by
radicals prior to the 1930s, Shelley Streeby analyzes
representations of violence and of abuses of state power in
response to the Haymarket police riot, of the trial and execution
of the Chicago anarchists, and of the mistreatment and imprisonment
of Ricardo and Enrique Flores Magón and other members of the
Partido Liberal Mexicano. She considers radicals' reactions to and
depictions of U.S. imperialism, state violence against the Yaqui
Indians in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands, the failure of the United
States to enact laws against lynching, and the harsh repression of
radicals that accelerated after the United States entered the First
World War. By focusing on the adaptation and critique of sentiment,
sensation, and visual culture by radical world-movements in the
period between the Haymarket riots of 1886 and the deportation of
Marcus Garvey in 1927, Streeby sheds new light on the ways that
these movements reached across national boundaries, criticized
state power, and envisioned alternative worlds.
