Book Reviews of Graphic Agitation
Book Review: Expansive and Engrossing!
Summary: 5 Stars
Liz McQuiston takes on the world! She gives an excellent overview of protest graphics from every continent (even Antarctica!) and from a very diverse range of debates: democracy movements, debates over reproductive rights, the environment, counter culture, civil rights, AIDS and health awareness and feminism, among many others. The book is very well designed and will bring back memories. Lots of great colour reproductions and a nice size and paper weight make it an aesthetic treat. It is also a valuable sourcebook for studies in visual culture. Check out the screaming red cover!
Summary of Graphic Agitation
Graphic art is a powerful weapon of protest and propaganda, shock and subversion. From the revolutionary Sixties to the present, Graphic Agitation explores the many ways in which graphic art and design have addressed social and political issues around the globe. Covering a broad range of subject areas including war, peace, ecology, health and sexual politics, the book features the work of some of the design world's best-known personalities as well as the graphics of anonymous protest. In addition to its striking visual impact, this unique collection of images presents a memorable reflection of the social concerns and political struggles of our age.Graphic Design Books
