A powerful exploration of the uses of lettering, type and design to amplify resistance and inspire change — from nineteenth-century antislavery broadsides to the “Silence = Death” graphics of the AIDS epidemic and the handmade signs of the Black Lives Matter movement. Organized into chapters that explore the many ways to express dissent, Strikethrough presents more than 120 signs, posters, publications and ephemera in vivid imagery and incisive prose.
