The Aesthetics Of Resistance, Vol. 1 by Peter Weiss

A sweeping, dense novel that interweaves the lives of politically committed workers and artists during the rise of fascism, using scenes of collective action, remembered episodes, and sustained meditations on paintings, sculptures and literature to show how cultural memory and aesthetic experience inform and strengthen anti-fascist resistance; the narrative blends historical detail, art-historical analysis and intimate reflection to argue that political struggle and artistic consciousness are mutually constitutive forces in the fight against oppression.
