Description: Leigh Claire La Berge shows how socially engaged art responds to and critiques what she calls decommodified labor--the slow diminishment of wages alongside an increase of demands of work--as a way to work toward social justice and economic equality.
Review Quotes: "The biggest contribution of this book is to put economic and aesthetic theory together, to see what happens when the aesthetic is subjected to a Marxist analysis.... La Berge's well-reasoned, engaging, and thorough book is a wonderful addition to the fields of Marxism, aesthetics, and performance."--Joseph Richards "Houston Review of Books"
