Material type: TextPublisher: London : White Lion Publishing, 2019Description: 288 pages : illustrations ; 29 cmContent type: text | still image Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 9780711241299 (hbk.) :Subject(s): Political art | Protest movements | Political posters | Art and Design | Art and DesignDDC classification: 704.9'49323'04 Summary: Social discontent and political protest have been expressed visually as well as verbally throughout the ages. Graffiti scribbles on a wall, pictures scattered in the street during marches, posters spread through the environment: all have played their part. For such agitational images represent a power struggle; a rebellion against an established order and a call to arms, or a passionate cry of concern for a cause. This book begins in the 16th century with the Reformation, when images could be produced in multiples. It then travels through decades and centuries of graphics: protesting against the miseries of war; satirising the foibles of royalty, politicians, religions, and society in general; calling for an end to racial discrimination and apartheid; demanding freedom from tyranny and dictatorships; struggling for LGBTQ+ rights; and, finally, attending to 21st-century concerns and Trumpisms.Item type | Current library | Home library | Shelving location | Class number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item reservations | |
