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.
