Recenzii
"Shows why and how artists become activists, without sacrificing their art. These are fascinating stories."
- David S. Meyer, University of California, Irvine.
From the Foreword:
Lechaux and Roussel “present iconic figures who reveal to us a broad register of ways of engaging, a repertoire of argument that we could not anticipate beforehand. Thus the reader emerges with a much deeper understanding of the nexus between politics, culture, and human subjectivity. And also, of course, of the topic at hand – how artists tried to make a difference in a very specific episode of contemporary American history. The experience will be enriching and imminently worthwhile. This is why I invite you to spend a few hours with this book. You will not be disappointed.”

Descriere
This book presents a unique and original series of interviews with American artists (including Guerrilla Girls on Tour, Shepard Fairey and Sean Astin) who have voiced their opposition to the war in Iraq. These discussions examine the relationships between arts and politics and the limits and conditions of political speech and action.
