FREEDOM OF THE PRESSES provides perspectives on how to deconstruct colonial and contemporary restraints on concept, content, design, production, and distribution of artists' and activists' publications along with models of how to reimagine artists' bookmaking as a socially engaged practice.
With its provocative mix of humurous, intimate and scholarly writing, the book offers an engaging read that will no doubt have a positive impact on both creative publishing and librarianship.
"This book launches a much needed dialogue about artists' books and should help reveal the place of artists' books in a larger social, political, and cultural conversation." - Mark Dimunation Chief, Rare Book and Special Collections Division, The Library of Congress
