Abstract
We cite from the COVER:
"This book forms part of the research process undertaken for the exhibition A Hard, Merciless Light. The Worker Photography Movement, 1926-1939 (Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid, April-August 2011) designed to reconstruct amateur, proletarian documentary practices during the interwar period, a chapter that remains largely unexplored in the history of photography."
"The worker photography movement must be understood in the context of the documentary practices in film and photography that emerged on an international scale towards 1930, and whose main goal was to represent the economic crisis and its social effects, particularly among the emerging popular classes in the era of masss democracy and mass communication."
"This volume is divided into geographical, chronologically-ordered sections including contemporary essays as well as a selection of historic texts, many of which are translated for the first time.
Texts by Béla Albertini, Flip Bool, Cristina Cuevas-Wolf, Simon Dell, Duncan Forbes, Jorge Ribalta, Josef Seiter, Rudolf Stumberger, Anne W. Tucker, Matthew S. Witkovsky, and Erika Wolf."
