Red on black: the story of the South African poster movement

Abstract

Containing more than 240 of the most powerful resistance posters from the South African apartheid era, this resource examines their purpose, why certain symbols were chosen, how illegal materials were made, and what emotions were behind the artists' statements and willingness to risk arrest and death. This collection covers the entire movement across race, gender, and age, and provides a stunning visual history of the South African struggle against apartheid.
