Sharon,

You can download Benjamin's essay on history at
http://www.efn.org/~dredmond/Theses_on_History.html

(it's a pdf file, you just need to have an acrobat reader installed to read
it.  Acrobat readers are widely available on the net, and can be easily
downloaded for free.)

Also, the Benjamin Research Syndicate
http://www.wbenjamin.org/walterbenjamin.html

And if you want a very good collection of essays on Derrida's _Spectres of
Marx_, try Michael Sprinker's _Ghostly Demarcations_.   This includes a
response by Derrida to those essays, a couple of outstanding, imo, pieces
from Hamacher and Montag, an ok piece by Negri, and some pretty embarassing
adventures by others.   But don't be put off by Derrida -- there's less
jargon in Derrida than in, say, Marx; and in any case, if you've read the
_Communist Manifesto_ and/or _Capital_ v1, then the references in _SM_ are
already familiar, even if they are generally passed over or forgotten in
most commentaries.
