Reviews

This book will be an important intervention into the study of street art in particular, and of public art and artistic activism in general. The author approaches the subject with the rare combination of a scholar's critical intellect and an artist's aesthetic eye. Stephen Duncombe, New York University An excellent book that captures the agency of street art interventions. The clear and innovative research methods represent a significant step forward in visual methodology, offering a lucid account of how to understand visual communication. Aidan McGarry, Loughborough University
