520    "Most people outside of the art world view art as 
       something that is foreign to their experiences and 
       everyday lives. A People's Art History of the United 
       States places art history squarely in the rough-and-tumble
       of politics, social struggles, and the fight for justice 
       from the colonial era through the present day. Author and 
       radical artist Nicolas Lampert combines historical sweep 
       with detailed examinations of individual artists and works
       in a politically charged narrative that spans the conquest
       of the Americas, the American Revolution, slavery and 
       abolition, western expansion, the suffragette movement and
       feminism, civil rights movements, environmental movements,
       LGBT movements, antiglobalization movements, contemporary 
       antiwar movements, and beyond. A People's Art History of 
       the United States introduces us to key works of American 
       radical art alongside dramatic retellings of the histories
       that inspired them. Stylishly illustrated with over two 
       hundred images, this book is nothing less than an 
       alternative education for anyone interested in the 
       powerful role that art plays in our society."--|cProvided
