Items related to Street Spirit: The Power of Protest and Mischief
Synopsis
Street Spirit is a celebration of 50 extraordinary protests and demonstrations from around the world that have used humor, courage, absurdity and creativity to make their mark. Among the many instances of imaginative defiance within, you’ll discover the surprising impact of Lego figures in Siberia, red-hatted dwarves in Poland, and a donkey holding a press conference in Azerbaijan—not to mention the story of how Darth Vader helped to effect a global arms treaty. With over 100 photographs and accompanying commentary on the power of non-violent protest from human rights campaigner Steve Crawshaw, who has been an eye-witness to some of the most dramatic demonstrations of recent years, Street Spirit is a unique visual guide that will inspire, enlighten and entertain.

Review
"When a totalitarian society faces creative protests, it is like ice meeting fire . . . Street Spirit is a relevant and powerful book for our times." —Ai Weiwei, Foreword
"Full of wonderful and entertaining stories of the power to create change." —Bianca Jagger
"In Street Spirit, Steve Crawshaw distills decades of wisdom, experience and optimism from around the world. This potent cocktail will be feared by tyrants everywhere - but to all those who will brandish it proudly or read it in the dark, he brings light, hope and ammunition for people-led change." —Shami Chakrabarti, author, On Liberty
