Agitate! Educate! Organize! on PopMatters

Filed under: Featured Titles, Publicity Roundup — sagehouse @ 11:45 am

On the PopMatters blog, Emily F. Popek reviews Agitate! Educate! Organize!: American Labor Posters by Lincoln Cushing and Timothy W. Drescher. She writes: “The core of this book is obviously the images it contains. Vivid, striking, colorful, arresting and at times even shocking, these posters speak loudly with voices of sorrow, righteousness, defiance and humor. Having such images recorded in digital form and archived with information about when, where and by whom they were created is of incalculable value to those who study American history or the history of populist visual art forms.” Read the whole review here.
