Behemoth
"Freeman’s rich and ambitious Behemoth depicts a world in retreat that still looms large in the national imagination.…More than an economic history, or a chronicle of architectural feats and labor movements." —Jennifer Szalai, New York Times In an accessible and timely work of scholarship, celebrated historian Joshua B. Freeman tells the story of the factory and examines how it has reflected both our dreams and our nightmares of industrialization and social change. He whisks readers from the early textile mills that powered the Industrial Revolution to the factory towns of New England to today’s behemoths making sneakers, toys, and cellphones in China and Vietnam. Behemoth offers a piercing perspective on how factories have shaped our societies and the challenges we face now.
Framing the Audience
Framing the Audience explores the cultural politics of the Great Depression and World War II through the prism of art appreciation. Isadora Helfgott interrogates the ideological and political motivations for breaking down barriers between fine art and popular culture. She charts the impact that changes in art appreciation had on the broader political, social, cultural, and artistic landscape. Framing the Audience argues that efforts to expand the social basis of art became intertwined with—and helped shape—broader debates about national identity and the future of American political economy. Helfgott chronicles artists’ efforts toinfluence the conditions of artistic production and display. She highlights the influence of the Federal Art Project, the impact of the Museum of Modern Art as an institutional home for modernism in America and as an organizer of traveling exhibitions, and the efforts by LIFE and Fortune magazines to integrate art education into their visual record of modern life. In doing so, Helfgott makes critical observations about the changing relationship between art and the American public.

O surgimento da fábrica mudou tudo para sempre: da economia à expectativa de vida, da maneira como as nossas cidades se organizam à nossa relação com o mundo natural. O crescimento anual médio per capita da produção econômica global entre o nascimento de Jesus e as primeiras tecelagens inglesas do séculos XVIII foi basicamente zero. A partir da instalação das fábricas, primeiro no Velho Mundo, depois nos Estados Unidos e nas outras nações, tudo se transformou. Neste livro fascinante, o historiador Joshua B.Freeman conta a história desses gigantescos centros de produção de bens de consumo e da multidão de pessoas que ajudou a construí-los - com suor, ideias e força de vontade.
