About this product
Product Information
What does it mean to resist? Throughout our nation's history, discrimination and unjust treatment of all kinds have prompted people to make their objections and outrage known. Some protests involve large groups of people, marching or holding signs with powerful slogans. Others start with quotes or hashtags on social media that go viral and spur changes in behavior. People can make their voices heard in hundreds of different ways. Join author Marke Bieschke on this visual voyage of resistance through American history. Discover the artwork, music, fashion, and creativity of the activists. Meet the leaders of the movements, and learn about the protests that helped to shape the United States from all sides of the political spectrum. Examples include key events from women's suffrage, the civil rights movement, occupations by Indigenous people, LGBTQ demands for equality, Tea Party protests, Black Lives Matter protests, and more, including the George Floyd protests in the summer of 2020. Into the Streets introduces the personalities and issues that drove these protests, as well as their varied aims and accomplishments, from spontaneous hashtag uprisings to highly planned strategies of civil disobedience. Perfect for young adult audiences, this book highlights how teens are frequently the ones protesting and creating the art of the resistance. "[T]he text never loses sight of the fact that the right to assemble and protest is a basic American right. . . . Highly recommended for middle grade through high school collections in both school and public libraries."--starred, School Library Journal

"Into the Streets is an enlightening, inspiring and very readable pictorial history of the heroic protest actions that have pushed the American experiment toward the arc of peace, justice and equality--often against seemingly insurmountable odds. The broad spectrum of people's history featured here includes such monumental events as Martin Luther King Jr's 'I Have a Dream' civil rights march on Washington in 1963 and more recent acts of resistance like the 2016 occupation of Standing Rock Indian Reservation that pitted Native American activists and environmentalists against Big Oil. Author Marke Bieschke also resurrects some more hidden archival treasures, like the bloody battle fought by World War II veterans returning home to McMinn County, Tennessee to free citizens from the bondage of a corrupt, violent political machine. Into the Streets is an eye-opening, time-machine trip through the epic drama of American direct democracy."--David Talbot, New York Times-bestselling author of The Devil's Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA and the Rise of America's Secret Government and Brothers: The Hidden History of the Kennedy Years, "Marke Bieschke has created the perfect antidote to our times riddled with rising tides of injustice and emboldened racism. Into the Streets connects young social justice activists to the long history of dissent."--James Tracy, author of Dispatches Against Displacement: Field Notes from San Francisco's Housing Wars and co-author of Hillbilly Nationalists, Urban Race Rebels, and Black Power: Community Organizing in Radical Times, "Into the Streets connects young social justice activists to the long history of dissent."--James Tracy, author of Dispatches Against Displacement and co-author of Hillbilly Nationalists, Urban Race Rebels, and Black Power, "[T]he text never loses sight of the fact that the right to assemble and protest is a basic American right. . . . Highly recommended for middle grade through high school collections in both school and public libraries."--starred, School Library Journal, "An eye-opening, time-machine trip through the epic drama of American direct democracy."--David Talbot, New York Times-bestselling author of The Devil's Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA and the Rise of America's Secret Government and Brothers: The Hidden History of the Kennedy Years, "What I love about Marke Bieschke's book is that he connects well-known protests--like the Freedom Rides and the Free Speech Movement--with ones that have been obscured in history from the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 to the hunger marches during the Great Depression to ACT UP's demands to end the AIDS epidemic. The words are so powerful and the visuals so vivid that you can almost hear the sound of thousands of marchers, exuberant chants and protest songs ringing in the air.Since many of the protests--from the Birmingham Children's March to today's students' urgent calls for gun control and action on the climate crisis--are led by youth, these stories are sure to inspire the next generation of activists."--Elaine Elinson is the author of the award-winning Wherever There's a Fight: How Runaway Slaves, Suffragists, Immigrants, Strikers and Poets Shaped Civil Liberties in California, Bieschke (Queer: The Ultimate LGBT Guide for Teens) spans more than five centuries in this expansive and inclusive work that records the rich history of protest U.S. After a brief introduction defining protest and its myriad forms, chapters chronologically feature demonstrations both storied and lesser-known, violent and peaceful, between 1492 and 2018. Nearly three-quarters of the book focuses on progressive protests (the Stonewall riots, the Ferguson uprising), while the remainder center on political or environmental movements. Straightforward storytelling highlights key people, slogans, strategies, and reasons for these movements, often emphasizing the role played by teens, such as that of climate activist Greta Thunberg. Spray-painted neon borders and numerous archival photographs grab the eye, and asides insert additional details: the origin of the peace symbol, for example. This roundup of rallies, parades, sit-ins, walkouts, boycotts, and more shows there are as many protest methods as there are reasons to protest. A concluding spread offers a 10-point blueprint for readers starting their own protest. Source notes, further reading, and an extensive index are included in this engaging compilation., "This is a compilation of 34 instances when citizens of the U.S. exercised their right to protest, demonstrate, march, or create mayhem to express their views. Each act is covered in its own four-page chapter, usually evenly divided between text (accessible information set off by headers and subtitles) and illustrations (photos, archival documents, reproductions). The events are listed in chronological order, beginning with colonial times, events in the nineteenth century, the twentieth century (with special attention paid to the tumultuous 1960s: civil rights, the Vietnam War, Black Power, the Stonewall Riots, Occupation of Alcatraz, the Attica Prison uprising, flower power, and more), and on through the 2018 March for Our Lives. The introduction uses the 1968 student walkouts in Los Angeles as a model of civil disobedience, emphasizing how the teens' activism brought about changes (bilingual classes, a Chicano history curriculum). The back matter includes chapter notes, recommendations for further reading, and a few tips on how to plan a protest. This is helpful curriculum support and a how-to guide for young dissidents."--Booklist, "[E]xpansive and inclusive . . . This roundup of rallies, parades, sit-ins, walkouts, boycotts, and more shows there are as many protest methods as there are reasons to protest." --Publisher's Weekly, "Sure to inspire the next generation of activists."--Elaine Elinson is the author of the award-winning Wherever There's a Fight: How Runaway Slaves, Suffragists, Immigrants, Strikers and Poets Shaped Civil Liberties in California, "From slave rebellions and the Boston Tea Party, to the 2017 Women's March and the March for Our Lives following the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in 2018, Bieschke covers the history of major protests in the United States. In chronological order, each protest is allotted a four-page vignette of text, photographs, and relevant sidebars. While most protests are, almost by definition, anti-establishment or anti-government, the 2017 Charlottesville Unite the Right rally is included. Bieschke approaches this event as an exercise of First Amendment rights. Not all protests have sparked the desired changes in society or government. Not all have been peaceful, either, often involving violence both from protesters and/or from law and government officials. However, the text never loses sight of the fact that the right to assemble and protest is a basic American right. A short section of suggestions on how to start a protest completes the book. Source notes are included; the majority are websites, with a smattering of print sources. The online sources are from legitimate and respected news outlets such as the New York Times, CNN, BBC, and the Institute for Policy Studies. A good index is helpful; an annotated list of recommended reading features impressive choices. VERDICT Highly recommended for middle grade through high school collections in both school and public libraries."--starred, School Library Journal, "A visual primer covering some key U.S. protests from 1492 to 2018. An introduction offers readers definitions of what protest is and the many ways it can manifest. The protests covered center people of different races, classes, sexual orientations, and genders as well as including non-identity related protests, making this a thoroughly representative book. Important players, like Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, activists for transgender rights in the Stonewall uprising, are highlighted, and continued injustice is acknowledged, including the modern-day prison industrial complex. Bieschke ends by offering suggestions for readers interested in starting their own protests. Despite these strengths, some of the language used to describe nonviolent protest (such as calling sit-in protesters 'polite') harkens to respectability politics. Applying the word 'violent' to early Native American resistance while positioning European settler-colonists as having 'used force'--not violence--to 'evict' Native Americans feeds into common biases. Later, the same chapter claims slave owners were 'often abusive,' although the institution of slavery was itself inherently abusive. As the book progresses, these problematic missteps appear less frequently. Overall, Bieschke does an admirable job of connecting protests to their historical moments. Ample use of photos, historical illustrations, and informative sidebars add visual engagement. Despite occasional stumbles, this is an engaging overview to inspire socially minded readers."--Kirkus Reviews

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
