Bringing together essays on activist and community-based art from the pages of "Afterimage" - one of the most influential journals in the media and visual arts fields, this title demonstrates that activist art, far from being antithetical to the true meaning of the aesthetic, can be its most legitimate expression.

"This collection is a real testimonial to the intelligence of the editing of "Afterimage," a journal that has showcased throughtful critics and commentators for years."--Patricia Aufderheide, American University
