Lines the Quarry

Lines the Quarry
- Used Book in Good Condition
Within a span of 15 days, Massey Energyâ€™s Upper Big Branch coal mine exploded, killing 29 miners, and BPâ€™s Deepwater Horizon exploded, killing 11 workers and leaking over 5 million barrels of oil (and counting). A year and a half later, Occupy occurred. Lines the Quarry writes of and into that ongoing disaster and possibility, interjecting into the commercial language of success the many violationsâ€”bodily and otherwiseâ€”that define capitalist exploitation. Weaving together autobiography, lies, half-truths, corporate horror stories and laborâ€™s radical past, this book seeks to articulate both our devastation and our possibility in very human terms. In a language familiar yet strange, composed of fragments, multiple speech registers and broken syntactical arrangements, the book examines lives lived through very difficult circumstances and the corporate forces that range upon our earth.
