Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"One of Pop Matter's Best Nonfiction Books of 2019"
"Liz McQuiston's Protest! encompasses an astounding breadth of emotion – from hilarious satire to utter horror. It highlights the timeless iconography of protest graphics, such as raised fists, skulls (and skeletons), mushroom clouds and missiles, and revels in the variety of its modus operandi: from posters and postcards to giant inflatables. But over and above all, this book pays tribute to the liberating concept of hard-won 'freedom of speech' throughout history, and which still has agency in current times. . . . The power struggles of the past, and their visual communication, have meaning for us now. Such resonances occur, again and again, throughout this entire collection."---Elisabeth Woronzoff, Pop Matters
