Description

This study traces the history and development of the International Co-operative Movement, from its foundation in 1895 to the present. It shows how the movement grew in different countries in response to industrialization, urbanization and the growth of market economies. The book goes on to examine the co-operative "ideal", and to illustrate how co-operative movements have developed in practice in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas. Finally, the volume looks at democratic theories of participation, and assesses the future of the Co-operative Movement.

Description

As one of the people who defined punk's protest art in the 1970s and 1980s, Gee Vaucher (b. 1945) deserves to be much better-known. She produced confrontational album covers for the legendary anarchist band Crass and later went on to do the same for Northern indie legends the Charlatans, among others. More recently, her work was recognised the day after Donald Trump's 2016 election victory, when the front page of the Daily Mirror ran her 1989 painting Oh America, which shows the Statue of Liberty, head in hands. This is the first book to critically assess an extensive range of Vaucher's work. It examines her unique position connecting avant-garde art movements, counterculture, punk and even contemporary street art. While Vaucher rejects all 'isms', her work offers a unique take on the history of feminist art. -- .
