"Clever images of dissent are not a recent phenomenon in the United
States. . . . [Signs of Resistance is] visually fascinating.
. . . [and] there is bigly wit here, too."
--The Washington Post
"Illuminating. . . . Signs of Resistance includes the
work of many movements--woman's suffrage, civil rights, Black Lives
Matter--but the creativity and conviction behind each image are a
common thread."
--Los Angeles Times "Siegler has a terrific eye. . . . [If you
need] a crash course in how quintessentially American it is to
protest, read this. And remember that change does not come about
quietly."
--Newark Star-Ledger "Siegler guides readers through the complex
and powerful history of protest in America through the use of
iconic symbols."
--EW.com "When it comes to the history of protest, sassy
signs are nothing new. In fact, figuring out how to represent a
protest movement with a few snappy words or an incisive image is a
crucial component to making a movement work. And when that effort
is successful, it can be truly memorable, as shown by . . . the new
book Signs of Resistance."
