Bøger af Sara Marcus

Sara Marcus argues for the emancipatory potential of political disappointment-the unrealized desire for liberation. Exploring literature and sound from Reconstruction to Black Power, from the Popular Front to second-wave feminism and the AIDS crisis, Marcus shows how moments of defeat have inspired new ensembles of art and activism.
