Description:

Proletarian Nights, one of RanciÃ¨reâs most significant works, dramatically reinterprets the Revolution of 1830, contending that workers were not rebelling against specific hardships and conditions but against the unyielding predetermination of their lives. Through a study of worker-run newspapers, letters, journals, and worker-poetry, RanciÃ¨re reveals the contradictory and conflicting stories that challenge the coherence of these statements celebrating labor.In this new edition, RanciÃ¨re has written a new preface, revisiting the work twenty years since its first publication in French.
