La hidra de la revolución Tekijä: Linebaugh peter
110000
Un libro da leggere da chi, per qual si voglia motivo, voglia comprendere come è nato il mondo moderno. Spesso la fiumana del progresso ha travolto affascinanti culture libertarie e solidali.
El 21 de febrero de 1803, el coronel Edward (Ned) Marcus Despard fue ahorcado y decapitado en Londres ante una multitud de 20.000 personas por organizar una conspiración revolucionaria para derrocar al rey Jorge III. Catherine (Kate), su esposa de origen caribeño y raza negra, le ayudó a escribir el discurso que pronunció desde el patíbulo, en el que se proclamaba amigo de los pobres y los oprimidos. En él expresó también su confianza en que «los principios de la libertad, la humanidad y la justicia triunfarán finalmente sobre la falsedad, la tiranía y el engaño».
Y sin embargo el mundo giró. Desde los sucesos de las revoluciones estadounidense, francesa y haitiana, y la fallida revolución irlandesa, conectadas entre sí, al nacimiento del Antropoceno en medio de los cercamientos, el belicoso capitalismo global, las plantaciones con trabajo esclavo y la producción con máquinas en las fábricas, Roja esfera ardiente introduce a los lectores en el momento crucial de los dos últimos milenios. Esta historia monumental ofrece, con gran riqueza de detalle, una crónica extensa de la resistencia a la desaparición de los regímenes comunales. El extraordinario relato de Peter Linebaugh recupera el heroísmo de redes extensas de resistentes soterrados que, desafiando a la muerte, lucharon contra la privatización de lo común impuesta por dos entidades políticas nuevas, Estados Unidos y Reino Unido, que, ahora sabemos, seguirían desposeyendo a personas de todo el mundo hasta la actualidad. Roja esfera ardiente es la culminación de toda una vida dedicada a la investigación, condensada en un épico relato de amor.… (lisätietoja)

You can never accuse Peter Linebaugh of not being exceptionally thorough. You know that he has tracked down, read and contextualised every document of even tangential relevance to his topic. And yet, if the documents weren't written, there is not a lot the historian can do but imagine. So the central characters of Ned and Catherine Despard do not come to life; something is known of the actions of Ned Despard, Irishman, soldier, revolutionary before he ended his life on the gallows, but little is known of his personality or character. Even less is known of his wife Catherine, other than she was black or creole and from the New World. How, where and why they met is unknown - less still of any element of their relationship
So this is not really their story, this is a story with them as symbols. Linebaugh is excellent on closure - no reader is likely to forget the verse that sums it up:
"The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose from off the common
But leaves the greater villain loose
Who steals the common from off the goose"
He is as every excellent on the use of hanging and transportation as a tool of class terror, and of the condition of the prisons. As social history, its excellent. But his main characters do not reveal themselves and the narrative loses its flow in places, attempting to bring them to the fore.… (lisätietoja)
