Paperback. The flag bearing twelve yellow stars on a blue background has become Europes most recognisable symbol. Since its introduction by the Council of Europe in 1955, it has stood for the unification of Europes nation states. It was precisely this yellow circle of stars that prevailed over more than 150 flag ideas sent to the Council of Europe by a host of diverse private individuals. These colourful designs are being now published in Rejected for the first time. They document the continents zeitgeist at a decisive period in the development of European unity. Alongside the flag proposals, the trilingual book (English, German, French) features a written contribution by the German-French poet and writer Marie Rotkopf, who tackles the EUs neoliberal political cynicism and Germanys expansion of power with biting irony.Design: We Became AwareText: Marie Rotkopf Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
