Summary

Art as Propaganda explores the potent role of artistic expression in shaping political landscapes throughout history. It examines how art has been deliberately employed for political messaging, ideological control, and influencing public opinion. The book uncovers how styles, symbols, and narratives are strategically used to convey specific messages and reinforce particular worldviews.

 
One intriguing insight is that art bypasses rational thought, appealing directly to emotions and cultural values. Another is understanding the use of censorship and suppression of dissenting voices in conjunction with art. The book argues that art is not merely a reflection of society but an active agent in shaping it.

 
Examining historical contexts from ancient empires to modern democracies, it analyzes case studies and frameworks to demonstrate how art legitimizes power, demonizes enemies, and propagates ideologies. This comprehensive investigation progresses from defining propaganda and the historical relationship between art and politics, to exploring specific examples across various historical and cultural contexts. The book culminates with an analysis of the ethical implications of art as propaganda and its continuing relevance in the digital age.

    A one-of-a-kind collection including some never-before-seen photographs of the wild and unforgettable WHA from legendary sports photographer Steve Babineau
    		
    		 
    On October 12, 1972, legendary Boston sports photographer, Steve Babineau, was in attendance for the debut of the New England Whalers. They were taking on the Philadelphia Blazers at the old Boston Garden — and Babs was shooting the action. Fifty years later, he’s still photographing big-league sports events — but this lovingly curated collection documents both his earliest published (and unseen) works and the wild emergence of the colorful, revolutionary, wild, and unforgettable WHA.
    		 
    In an era when rolls of film still had to be changed by hand and cameras were focused manually, when arena lighting was questionable and images had to be captured through the haze produced by smoking fans, Babineau captured it all: the timeless legends who were finally getting paid, the journeymen who finally got a shot at the pros, the 17-year-old who would go on to rewrite record books, the brawls and goals, the glorious ’staches and flows, the highs and the lows …
    		 
    Behind the Lens: The World Hockey Association 50 Years Later has the Golden Jet and the Howes, the teams that seemed to change names and cities as often as some players changed wooden sticks, and even the true origin story of that Wayne Gretzky photo that’s become the million-dollar holy grail for sports card collectors.

    Often referred to as the quiet Beatle, George Harrison’s demure and slightly moody visage can be seen peeking out at us from countless Beatles and solo albums. It seemed that George was such a powerful presence, he really didn’t even need to speak. This was the man who bid us to listen while his guitar gently wept.
     
    Harrison—whether in music or in life—was a deep diving, virtuoso supreme, but beyond his sheer musical genius, there is much more to his story than might first meet the eye. Here, in this book, we probe the depths to reveal George Harrison’s life and legend in full.

    Your Worshipfulness is the story of how a teenage Carrie Fisher created Star Wars's greatest character, Princess Leia. Leia began as little more than a damsel in distress, albeit one with cinema's most iconic hairstyle. Over three films, Carrie made her a complicated character, beloved the world over. Then Darth Vader died, the Ewoks danced, the credits rolled, and that was that. Carrie now had the rest of her life to live, stuck in Leia's shadow. What do you after the whole world has seen you duct-taped into a metal bikini? Worse, what can you do when the secrets you've tried to hide about your inner life won't stay hidden? When you can't control the thoughts in your head? Your Worshipfulness has everything: money, sex, love, power, and romance. It's a story of addiction and mental illness, of recovery and fame, of friendship and motherhood, trying to be your best when you can only remember the worst.
