Michel Pellanders — De Kater van het Gelijk
Amsterdam: Fragment. First edition, first printing. 109 pp., 30x21. Condition: Very Good (VG). Nice clean condition, minor edge wear to wrappers; else fine. De Kater van het Gelijk is a photographic reportage by Michel Pellanders documenting the one-and-a-half-year struggle to keep the Ford Motor Company's operations open in Amsterdam. The work serves as an indictment against the practices of the Ford empire during this period. The book features black and white photographs taken by Pellanders, capturing the industrial landscape and the human impact of the factory closures. While the primary text is written in Dutch, the final chapters are included in Spanish and Turkish to reach a broader audience. It provides a historical record of labor conflicts and corporate decisions in the Netherlands during the early 1980s.
