Wheatpasting for Social Change

Artist, designer, and author Josh MacPhee has a great blog post over at AK Press' blog, titled "Twenty Poster Books of Note."

He's got quite a collection of amazingly hard to find books, filled with progressive and radical posters - covering everything from wide topics, like Germany and Northern Africa, to very specific situations, postwar Chicano culture in California and the Black Panthers.

Sadly, many of these books are out of print. Given Josh's politics, we can only hope he'll scan in and distribute these fascinating political artifacts.

On a more visually satisfying note, I've just run across a great collection of high-resolution scans of posters from France in May 1968 - getting to look at rare posters I hadn't seen before, as well as seeing classics in such high quality was a real treat.
