"Throughout history, artsist and citizens have turned to protest art as a means of demonstrating social and political discontent. From the earliest broadsheets in the 1500s to prints, posters, murals, graffiti, and politcal cartoons, these inventive graphic forms have symbolized and spurred on power struggles, rebellions, and calls to arms. From French, Mexican, and Sandinista revolutions to the American civil rights movement, nuclear disarmament, and the Woen's March of 2017, PROTEST! documents the integral role of the visual arts in passionate efforts for change." -- cover page 4.
