Capitalist realism


Margaret Bourke-White, At the Time of the Louisville Flood (1936-37), reprinted in Picturing the South: 1860 to the Present (Ellen Dugan ed., 1996). Hat tip to Arse Poetica, via Ann Bartow of Feminist Law Professors.

    Wow.

    This picture sums up so many of our social problems into one image. I would try and add something poetic or profound, but the picture itself is enough, I think.

    Good picture.

    Thanks for the link, Jim!

    It is a fantastic photo and much deserving of a wider audience. We have so few checks to reality, it seems, in this day and age, and this is certainly one of them.
