Reviews
"Adamson's book is the best overall history to date of this important subject."-- CHOICE "The interventions of Enduring Images, taken together, "seek resistance to the present," as Deleuze would have it, and in so doing remain, productively, fascinatingly, unfinished."-- Film Quarterly "Adamson conveys a hope that cinema, especially at the fringes, will continue to play an important role in radicalizing its viewers."-- Hyperallergic, "Adamson's book is the best overall history to date of this important subject."-- CHOICE "The interventions of Enduring Images, taken together, "seek resistance to the present," as Deleuze would have it, and in so doing remain, productively, fascinatingly, unfinished."--Book Reviews "Adamson conveys a hope that cinema, especially at the fringes, will continue to play an important role in radicalizing its viewers."-- Hyperallergic, " Enduring Images is a powerful and nuanced re-reading of the New Left, viewed through the triptych of critical theory, radical politics, and documentary film."--Jonathan Kahana, author of Intelligence Work and editor of The Documentary Film Reader "Morgan Adamson's elegant and fascinating study shows how the cinematic image was an important weapon in the arsenal of revolutionary movements of the 1960s and '70s. Despite the effects of the counter-revolution that followed, the legacy of those cinematic experiments is still alive today, a resource for generating new ways of knowing the world and, perhaps, transforming it."--Michael Hardt, Duke University

Synopsis
An integrated look at the political films of the 1960s and '70s and how the New Left transformed cinema A timely reassessment of political film culture in the 1960s and '70s, Enduring Images examines international cinematic movements of the New Left in light of sweeping cultural and economic changes of that era. Looking at new forms of cinematic resistance--including detailed readings of particular films, collectives, and movements--Morgan Adamson makes a case for cinema's centrality to the global New Left. Enduring Images details how student, labor, anti-imperialist, Black Power, and second-wave feminist movements broke with auteur cinema and sought to forge local and international solidarities by producing political essay films, generating new ways of being and thinking in common. Adamson produces a comparative and theoretical account of New Left cinema that engages with discussions of work, debt, information, and resistance. Enduring Images argues that the cinemas of the New Left are sites to examine, through the lens of struggle, the reshaping of global capitalism during the pivotal moment in which they were made, while at the same time exploring how these movements endure in contemporary culture and politics. Including in-depth discussions of Third Cinema in Argentina, feminist cinema in Italy, Newsreel movements in the United States, and cybernetics in early video, Enduring Images is an essential examination of the political films of the 1960s and '70s., An integrated look at the political films of the 1960s and '70s and how the New Left transformed cinema.

    Carefully packaged book- arrived wrapped in plastic bag and shipped in cardboard box. As a frequent book buyer I appreciate this as so many books are just crammed into a plastic shopping bag and sent on their way- sometimes always hanging out of the bag. I know that Midtown Book Seller books will arrive as described. Shipped promptly. I’d highly recommend them as a seller.

    Book was in very good condition as described in the listing. It looked almost new, in fact, but the pages did have some yellowing around the edges, a sign of its age. The seller did an excellent job of wrapping and packing the book for shipment, which I greatly appreciate! He has earned his 100% feedback rating, I'd say. I'm extremely pleased with the seller and this transaction. Thank you!
