Black Box

As the disasters of capitalism's current crisis continue to batter the world, Black Box: A Record of the Catastrophe is a device for recording, analysing and transmitting events as they happen. The first volume contains an eclectic but accessible collection of reportage, interviews and letters from some of the brightest minds in critical theory. Its authors have sent dispatches from US prison yards, shipping graveyards of India, fatal drone strikes, roads crisscrossing the Mississippi Delta, childhoods in Zimbabwe and kitchens staffed by undocumented workers.
