Summary:  "A compelling photographic look at the important moments in the history of progressive resistance in America -- from the civil rights movement to the present -- that will inspire the activists and change-makers of today."--Back cover. "A powerful commemoration of notable moments of protest, 'Picturing Resistance' highlights the important American social justice movements of the last seven decades. Including both black-and-white and color photographs, this important record pairs iconic and unexpected images with insightful narrative captions that contextualize the meanings behind the moments. UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism professor Ken Light and author Melanie Light have carefully curated unconventional photographs of the most memorable moments in twentieth- and twenty-first-century protest history, offering a fresh perspective on these important occasions. In place of the iconic image of Martin Luther King, Jr. speaking at the March on Washington, 'Picturing Resistance' conveys the feeling of pain and frustration of the time period by instead showing him moments after being arrested, restrained against a police station table. The moments captured in 'Picturing Resistance' take the reader on a journey through decades of people-powered protest, featuring images from the front lines of the civil rights, women's, environmental, and disability rights movements, as well as contemporary movements like Black Lives Matter and March for Our Lives."--Barnes&Noble. Ken Light is currently the Reva and David Logan Professor of Photojournalism at the University of California, Berkeley. He is a social documentary photographer who has exhibited internationally and received numerous grants and awards, including two NEA photography fellowships and the Dorothea Lange Fellowship. His published photography collections include Valley of Shadows and Dreams, Coal Hollow, Witness in Our Time, Texas Death Row, Delta Time, To the Promised Land, With These Hands, and What's Going On?. Melanie Light is a writer, curator, and appraiser whose work focuses on documentary photography. Other authors:  Light, Ken.
