Discordant - Richard Hamilton - Bog

Bag om Discordant

"Richard Hamilton's collection, Discordant, is a searing examination of injustice and America's obsession with the military. Built upon personal experiences as a substitute teacher and sustainable agriculturist, this collection is a widely informed and deeply rooted look at the many layers of structural discrimination and the overarching systems that perpetuate inequality. With quotes such as "America is one savage constitution in a bowl" and "Can we suffer their mouthful, blood and vomit, lobelia flowers to resuscitate, to dilate their lungs?" Hamilton works in close conjunction with the US's history of slavery, wars, and empire while simultaneously keeping the present at the foreground and constantly challenging the oppression that has long been commonplace. From criticisms of the US's military-industrial complex to deeply personal, multilayered observations of marginalization, Discordant is a keen-eyed and urgent contemplation on race, class, and the ways in which history still haunts us"--
