People's Art History of the United States: 250 Years of Activist Art and Artists Working in Social Justice Movements

Rediscover the radical potential of art with this antidote to those purply grey old art history textbooks they make college students read. Skip college and get analytical! Author and radical artist Nicolas Lampert combines historical sweep with detailed examinations of individual artists and works in a politically charged narrative that spans the conquest of the Americas, the American Revolution, slavery and abolition, western expansion, the suffragette movement and feminism, civil rights movements, environmental movements, LGBT movements, antiglobalization movements, contemporary antiwar movements, and beyond.
