Product Details

Praise

“In these remarkably lucid essays, real critics, rebellious farmers, artisans, and diverse character-types are summoned to remind us of moments of conformist immobility, disavowals of colonialism, violence and class difference; but also, of how French cultural history offers paths toward public beauty, collectivity, ecological ways of living. Ross has an uncanny ability to zero in on what matters in the forms of the Paris Commune and beyond, letting participants speak without the usual virtue-signaling.”
—Karen Pinkus, Professor of Romance Studies and Comparative Literature, Cornell University

“This volume recalls why Kristin Ross’s work is a necessary point of entry into the infinite insurrection of everyday life envisaged by Karl Marx and Henri Lefebvre, Arthur Rimbaud and Jacques Ranciere, variously enacted from the Commune to May 68, and that animates the rural radicalism of today’s Zad. Anyone interested in altering the questions of our day towards a new everyday life will find here an abundant reservoir to think and do anew.”
—Manu Goswami, New York University

“Kristin Ross is one of the most clear-sighted, creative and inspiring scholars of contemporary France.”
—Russell Williams, Times Literary Supplement
