The bock begins with a survey of political and social graphics in the 1990s, and looks at how, and why, the nature of protest changed in that decade. In particular it examines the impact of the'digital aga'; and the profound affect new technologies have had even on non-digital media There follows a re new of protest graphics from the 1960s, '70s and '80s, providing context and featuring groundbreaking images from around the world The main part of the bock is divided into thematic chapters, focusing on key issues such as the environment, corporate power, branding, warfare and human rights.
