Summary Annotation This accessible, richly illustrated guide shows how to create progressive social change by mixing the emotional power of art with the strategic planning of activism. Drawing on pop culture, mainstream marketing, cultural studies, and cognitive science, The Art of Activism sets out the ideas that underpin successful political intervention. And it presents a range of fascinating case studies, from the United Farm Workers' boycott movement in sixties' California to a canal-side beach in present-day Saint Petersburg, that show how those ideas can be put into practice. If you want to flex your creative imagination and hone your political tactics in pursuit of a fairer world, look no further-the answer is in your hands. Book jacket.
