56 articles which appeared in the Vancouver, B.C. press from February 8, 1941 through February 28, 1942. The articles were commissioned by Colonel H.S. Tobin, Managing Director of Vancouver Breweries Limited and appeared in the Vancouver media. Given the dire situation faced by Britain, the directors of the brewery felt it best to set aside the greater portion of its advertising appropriation for patriotic, rather than regular business purposes and these articles were the result. Due to their popularity, they were reprinted in book form. Prior owner's name upon title page. Somewhat above-average external wear to pale green cardcovers which bear a two-inch opening between spine and top of back cover. A worthy copy of this fascinating look back to the early 1940s.

It is difficult to imagine making claims for human rights without using images.<br>For better or worse, images of protest, evidence and assertion are the lingua<br>franca of struggles for justice today. And they seem to come in a flood, more<br>and more, day and night. But through what channels does the torrent pass?<br><i>The Flood of Rights</i> examines the pathways through which these images and<br>ideas circulate routes that do not merely enable, but actually shape humanrights<br>claims and their conceptual background. What are the technologies and<br>languages that structure the global distribution of humanism and universalism,<br>and how do they leave their mark on these ideas themselves? Which narratives<br>and imageries have proven easier to export and import, and whose interests<br>are at stake? Contributions by 14 artists, curators and academics make up this<br>important reader, including Thomas Keenan, David Levine, Hito Steyerl and<br>TIrdad Zolghadr, among others.<br><br><br><br>Contributions by: Amanda Beech, Rony Brauman, David Campbell, Olivia Custer, Rosalyn Deutsche, Thomas Keenan, Eric Kluitenberg, David Levine, Suhail Malik, Sohrab Mohebbi, Sharon Sliwinski, Hito Steyerl, Bernard Stiegler, Tirdad Zolghadr — Testi: Keenan Thomas, Zolghadr Tirdad et al. pagg. 248; 75 COL e 4 BN; rileg. rigida.
