Jacques RanciÃ¨re
Proletarian Nights,, previously published in English as ,Nights of Labor, and one of RanciÃ¨reâ€™s most important 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.,This updated edition includes a new preface by the author, revisiting the work twenty years since its first publication in France.
