The Assault On Culture
AK Press 115pp ISBN: 1 873176 30 9 $22.40

A critical history of radical and avant-garde art and cultural movements ranging through lettrists, COBRA, the Situationists, fluxus, the Motherfuckers, yippies, mail art, punk and Class War. "Home's book is the first that I know of to chart this particular 'tradition' and to treat it seriously. It is a healthy corrective to the overly aestheticised view of 20th century avant-garde art that now prevails." --City Limits "...essential reading for anyone interested in the subject. It demystifies the political and artistic practices of the opponents to the dominant culture and serves as basic reference for a field largely undocumented in English. It is also engagingly honest, unpretentious, questioning and immediated in its impact." --Artists Newsletter

A powerful collection of vivid anti-war cartoons by John Olday, with quotations assembled by Marie Louise Berneri, first published in 1943.

These features were characteristic, not only of Nazi Germany, but of all belligerent states on both sides of the war, so Freedom Press, opposed them all."

Vaucher, Gee
Crass Art and other Pre-Postmodern Monsters
AK Press 112pp ISBN: 1-873176-10-4 $37.40
Much of punk's early radicalism has now found its way into the mainstream - three chord thrash has become acceptable MTV material, while punk ''fashion'' is strutted on the catwalks of London, Paris and New York. However, less easily exploited aspects have been largely ignored. Chief amongst them, the anarchist band Crass, who while selling hundreds of thousands of records through noncommercial channels, played a huge role in revitalizing both the peace and anarchist movements in the late '70s and early '80s. Vaucher's work with Crass is seminal to the "protest art" of the '80s. Seeing her art as a tool for social change, the extensive work that she did with Crass is perhaps the most obvious example of her agit-prop approach, but if her more recent works are superficially less confronting, it is only because the subject under attack is less immediately obvious. Crass Art & Other Pre-Postmodernist Monsters offers an opportunity to view Vaucher's work from its art-school origins to the present day. Offering 112 pages of full-colour plates, and a text detailing the historical context of the work.

Yates, John
Controlled Flight Into Terrain: Stealworks Anthology 3.0
AK Press 127pp ISBN: 1 902593 67 7 $16.40
Controlled Flight Into Terrain is episode three in the sociopolitical graphic commentary from John Yates? Stealworks design compound. A San Francisco Bay Area independent designer, his work has appeared for years within the underground music and political scenes. Through such work as this Democracy We Deliver, Officer Friendly?, and Mom, We're Home! designs, Yates has gained a somewhat precarious notoriety within both the counter and over-the-counter cultures. This latest collection draws on themes familiar to those found throughout his previous body of work, simply because those themes never seem to go away.'From subtle propagandist to raging agit-prop provocateur, John Yates exhibits the keen eye and sharp wit of an art world Robin Hood; Yates robs images from the rich and gives power to the poor, exposing the raw underbelly of the ruling class.'--Winston Smith

'September Commando' picks up where 'Stealworks' left off and from there on out it's a trilateral social injustice kill spree. To the barricades, and don't spare the hors d'oeuvre!
