Resistance art in South Africa

Product Description 
"Resistance Art" was Sue Williamson’s classic account of the visual art against apartheid. First published in 1989, it soon became a bestseller. Editions were sold in the United States and the UK, and the South African edition sold out within a few years. Because of continuing demand, this landmark work has now been reprinted with a new preface, so as to make the art of the 1980s and 1990's available to a new generation of readers and art lovers. 
 From Library Journal 
The role of art in the liberation struggles of 20th-century Africa has received scant attention from scholars and critics. Yet in a region where the literacy rate is so low, the power of visual images is especially signficant. Williamson has compiled a catalog of South African artists, white and black, whose work speaks to the struggle for freedom and against apartheid. The range of art illustrated includes everything from Western-style easel paintings to public "people's" art in the form of murals, T-shirts, etc. Perhaps most interesting is the artists' commentary, often filled with pain and anger about an unjust and repressive system. Essential for both public and academic libraries.\n- Eugene C. Burt, Seattle
