i was a bit underwhelmed by this book. i had high hopes that it would have a lot of good things to say about political/activist art and provide a scholarly and complete overview. it has nothing but good to say about the various relevant movements, and does provide a full overview (especially in historical terms), but still disappointed me. it's a bit too pedantic. Selz's choice to focus on California-based artists resulted in a severely limited idea of what has been done in this arena. there's also the plain fact that most political/activist art is all concept, no aesthetic. so what you get in this book is a huge list of half-baked activists who made lame attempts at social change by creating bad, ugly, or totally whack artwork. it also occasions the introduction of plenty of good work, don't get me wrong; but i'd been hoping for something more comprehensive in scope. i wanted this book to be more about the greater ideas behind some of the movements, and some of the bigger concepts to be expressed in the work. a lot of what Selz presents in this volume are small-time ideas -- the twitch-reflex work of politically-minded artists. art about political scandals, not about greater injustices. there's too much in his collection that is simply taking potshots at Reagan, Oliver North, Jesse Helms, George Bush. these petty one-shots make this a nice book that turns out to be primarily about petty one-shots. it's unfortunate. Selz shows that he knows his stuff; perhaps if the book didn't focus on the limited pool of California-based artwork it would be worth the effort.
