This first cross-national book-length study of street art as political protest and communication focuses on art forms traditionally used by collectives and state interests in the Hispanic world--posters; wallpaintings; graffiti; murals; shirts; buttons; and stickers; for example. Professor Chaffee examines the motives behind the use of street art as propaganda and seeks to explain how it is effective. Using field research and a sociopolitical approach; he assesses contemporary street art in Spain; the Basque country; Argentina; and Brazil. He shows how street art is a barometer of popular conflicts and sentiments across the political spectrum. This comparative analysis is intended for students; teachers; and professionals in the fields of communication; political science; history; and popular culture.

I noticed that there were very few houses that had 2 bathrooms. Mine only has one as well but does not have the number of bedrooms in most of those. I enjoyed it so much. I have ordered more of these yesteryear book because it is a hobby of mine to look at house plans.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. My Grandfathers BungalowsBy Kerstin WarnerJens Pedersen originally wanted to call his plan book "Pedersens Perfect Plans." Id love to know who talked him out of that title. You can find these houses all over St. Paul. My dollhouse was a version of one of his houses; when he was into his oval-glass-in-wooden front door phase.Kerstin Pedersen Warner10 of 10 people found the following review helpful. One of Dovers best plan booksBy ChrijeffPrinted on heavy glossy stock; this collection of reproductions from the Jens Pedersen mail-order plan catalog is especially notable for its avoidance of one of Dovers common weaknesses; the so-small-it-needs-a-magnifying-glass plan. The books designers have managed to make most of the plans a nice readable size; and each includes a full-color print of the exterior and a brief description of the house. Most of these homes have a footprint of less than 900 square feet; but theyre livably arranged and some have as many as four bedrooms. These are houses that may well have lasted to this day; and deservedly so. Theres also a good explanatory introduction especially written for this edition. Anyone curious about 1920s domestic architecture; especially of the humbler and less expensive type; should have this title in their collection.
