In this ambitious book, Moishe Postone undertakes a fundamental reinterpretation of Marx's mature critical theory. He calls into question many of the presuppositions of traditional Marxist analyses and offers new interpretations of Marx's central arguments. These interpretations lead him to a very different analysis of the nature and problems of capitalism and provide the basis for a critique of "actually existing socialism." According to this new interpretation, Marx identifies the central core of the capitalist system with an impersonal form of social domination generated by labor itself and not simply with market mechanisms and private property. Proletarian labor and the industrial production process are characterized as expressions of domination rather than as means of human emancipation. This reformulation relates the form of economic growth and the structure of social labor in modern society to the alienation and domination at the heart of capitalism. It provides the foundation for a critical social theory that is more adequate to late twentieth-century capitalism.

Paperback. Wild Visionary reconsiders Maurice Sendak's life and work in the context of his experience as a Jewish gay man. Maurice (Moishe) Bernard Sendak (1928-2012) was a fierce, romantic, and shockingly funny truth seeker who intervened in modern literature and culture. Raising the stakes of children's books, Sendak painted childhood with the dark realism and wild imagination of his own sensitive "inner child," drawing on the queer and Yiddish sensibilities that shaped his singular voice. Interweaving literary biography and cultural history, Golan Y. Moskowitz follows Sendak from his parents' Brooklyn home to spaces of creative growth and artistic vision-from neighborhood movie palaces to Hell's Kitchen, Greenwich Village, Fire Island, and the Connecticut country home he shared with Eugene Glynn, his partner of more than fifty years. Further, he analyzes Sendak's investment in the figure of the endangered child in symbolic relation to collective touchstones that impacted the artist's perspective-the Great Depression, the Holocaust, and the AIDS crisis. Through a deep exploration of Sendak's picture books, interviews, and previously unstudied personal correspondence, Wild Visionary offers a sensitive portrait of the most beloved and enchanting picture-book artist of our time.

It all starts when Mick Shannon—Irish Mick--loses to a knockout punch. His manager had bet heavy, and now Mick owes the mob, and more specifically, Moishe Abrams, who runs the jukes and collections in Detroit’s 8 Mile. Moishe is part of the Old Guard, and not to be trifled with. But first time out, Moise takes a blade for Mick when Mojo Johnson doesn’t want to pay up. Now Mojo’s dead and there’s a body to get rid of and an aging gangster who needs some serious medical attention. That’s when Brownie steps in to help, and so begins Mick’s career with the jukes. With Moishe on the mend, Mick handles all his collections. But he also finds himself handling Mojo’s old studio... and Mojo’s niece, Martika, who runs the place. Mick is beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel—maybe some money can be made here. Trouble is, the mob boss’s son, Albert Duca, also wants a piece of the action. With Brownie running interference and Moishe giving his unofficial blessing, Mick’s troubles only multiply when he decides to buy a club for the studio acts to play in. Because now Albert definitely wants in—and this time he has no intention of taking no for an answer.

Translated from the original Yiddish, From Man to Man is a series of ninety-eight philosophical meditations on various aspects of life and love, written by the American writer and poet Moishe Nadir (1885-1943) and originally published in 1919. Sparkling and exuberant, these poetic miniatures display quite an astonishing variety of moods and are at once playful and critically insightful about the world around us. "mine is the wonderful love that has burned itself out in a thousand fires and like a salamander has crawled out from beneath the ash for the thousandth time become alive and dangerous" - Moishe Nadir - From Man to Man Nadir may have believed in the impermanence of the writer, but he also believed in the permanence of the expression of the life force through him. As remarkable as the text is, the translation by Harvey Fink represents an impressive achievement. His devotion assures us that Nadir will take his place as one of the most innovative writers of his own, or any era.
