¡Basta Ya!

Item

Title: ¡Basta Ya!
Subject: Temporalities
Description: Image 1:
A nineteenth-century engraving shows a man with a portable chair strapped to his back in which sits a passenger, facing backwards. The porter is carrying his passenger up a steep ascent in very mountainous terrain; they are being soaked by pouring rain; the porter is barefoot and carries his sandals in one hand. A speech bubble shows the porter exclaiming “Basta ya!” (enough already!)

Image 2:
A single page, titled “Relations of Exploitation”. A four-panel column on the left is titled “Owners of the means of production” and shows a slaveowner, a feudal lord, a landowner and an industrialist. A four-panel column on the right is titled “Workers” and shows the people exploited by each type of owner: an enslaved African, an Indigenous serf, a pesant farmer and an industrial labourer.

Image 3:
The image is the back cover of the pamphlet. It shows two male construction labourers working with shovels on a building site. Text in capital letters above them says: “Why is that we the workers, being the ones who produce the wealth, are the ones who least benefit from it?”
