   Cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra.  meltxor | Oct 18, 2022 |   So this is not really their story, this is a story with them as symbols. Linebaugh is excellent on closure - no reader is likely to forget the verse that sums it up: "The law locks up the man or woman Who steals the goose from off the common But leaves the greater villain loose Who steals the common from off the goose" He is as every excellent on the use of hanging and transportation as a tool of class terror, and of the condition of the prisons. As social history, its excellent. But his main characters do not reveal themselves and the narrative loses its flow in places, attempting to bring them to the fore.

On February 21, 1803, Colonel Edward (Ned) Marcus Despard was publicly hanged and decapitated in London before a crowd of 20,000 for organizing a revolutionary conspiracy to overthrow King George III. His black Caribbean wife, Catherine (Kate), helped to write his gallows speech in which he proclaimed that he was a friend to the poor and oppressed. He expressed trust that "the principles of freedom, of humanity, and of justice will triumph over falsehood, tyranny, and delusion." And yet the world turned. From the connected events of the American, French, Haitian, and failed Irish Revolutions, to the Anthropocene's birth amidst enclosures, war-making global capitalism, slave labor plantations, and factory machine production, Red Round Globe Hot Burning throws readers into the pivotal moment of the last two millennia. This monumental history, packed with a wealth of detail, presents a comprehensive chronicle of the resistance to the demise of communal regimes. Peter Linebaugh's extraordinary narrative recovers the death-defying heroism of extended networks of underground resisters fighting against privatization of the commons accomplished by two new political entities, the U.S.A. and the U.K., that we now know would dispossess people around the world through today. Red Round Globe Hot Burning is the culmination of a lifetime of research-encapsulated through an epic tale of love. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

Y sin embargo el mundo giró. Desde los sucesos de las revoluciones estadounidense, francesa y haitiana, y la fallida revolución irlandesa, conectadas entre sí, al nacimiento del Antropoceno en medio de los cercamientos, el belicoso capitalismo global, las plantaciones con trabajo esclavo y la producción con máquinas en las fábricas, Roja esfera ardiente introduce a los lectores en el momento crucial de los dos últimos milenios. Esta historia monumental ofrece, con gran riqueza de detalle, una crónica extensa de la resistencia a la desaparición de los regímenes comunales. El extraordinario relato de Peter Linebaugh recupera el heroísmo de redes extensas de resistentes soterrados que, desafiando a la muerte, lucharon contra la privatización de lo común impuesta por dos entidades políticas nuevas, Estados Unidos y Reino Unido, que, ahora sabemos, seguirían desposeyendo a personas de todo el mundo hasta la actualidad. Roja esfera ardiente es la culminación de toda una vida dedicada a la investigación, condensada en un épico relato de amor.
