Art and the Working Class w/ Taylor Genovese

An unusual episode, but one that is a lot of fun and quite useful as well! We have a returning guest, Taylor Genovese (see our episode on the Peasants' Revolt of 1381 to hear his previous appearance), AND a guest interviewer today, Safie Ashirova. We talked about Alexander Bogdanov's Art and the Working Class, which Taylor has just translated into english for the very first time and has been released today at peacelandbread.com/books. A major examination on the necessity for proletarian art, and ideas of how to foster it, this is a book that everyone should check out (not least because the pdf version is free)!

Taylor Genovese is a PhD researcher of anthropology at Arizona State University and an editorial board member of the fantastic journal Peace, Land, and Bread.
