Published for the exhibition at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid during the annual PhotoEspaña festival.

One of the main aims of the exhibition was to relocate the worker-photography movement as a key moment in the History of Photography, since it has often been postponed, put back, marginalized, forgotten, even repressed. This comprehensive book came from the event.

Covering the Interwar period from the American Photo League and Farm Security Administration to images produced during the Weimar Republic in Germany and the early Stalinist years of the Soviet Union, along with lesser-known worker-related photographic movements across Europe.
