Synopsis"Political power," says Howard Zinn, "is controlled by the corporate elite, and the arts are the locale for a kind of guerilla warfare in the sense that guerillas look for apertures and opportunities where they can have an effect." In Artists in Times of War, Zinn looks at the possibilities to create such apertures through art, film, activism, publishing and through our everyday lives. In this collection of four essays, the author of A People's History of the United States writes about why "To criticize the government is the highest act of patriotism." Filled with quotes and examples from the likes of Bob Dylan, Mark Twain, e. e. cummings, Thomas Paine, Joseph Heller, and Emma Goldman, Zinn's essays discuss America's rich cultural counternarratives to war, so needed in these days of unchallenged U.S. militarism., In this collection of essays, three of which are,previously unpublished, the author of A People's,History of the United States writes about the role,of artists, activists and publishers in making,advances in peace, welfare and social justice,through war resistance. Looking at the unique,power of the artist to critique power and inspire,others to challenge authority, as well as the,example of Emma Goldman and anarchism, how film,can be used as a forum for resistance, and the,role that grassroots pamphlets have played in,history, this is a rich rejection of war., In this collection of essays, three of which are previously unpublished, the author of A People's History of the United States writes about the role of artists, activists and publishers in making advances in peace, welfare and social justice through war resistance.
