How To Make Trouble And Influence People: Pranks, Hoaxes, Graffiti & Political Mischief Making From Across Australia

Description

How to Make Trouble and Influence People is a revelation of Australia's radical past through more than 500 tales of Indigenous resistance, convict revolts and escapes, picket line hijinks, student occupations, street art, media pranks, urban interventions, squatting, blockades, banner drops, guerrilla theatre and billboard liberation. In this masterpiece of radicalism, Australian activists have been interviewed about their opposition to racism, war, economic exploitation and religious conservatism. Every act of mischief is tied together by humour and creativity.

Reviews

"While the title parodies the most famous example of the self-help genre, "How to Make Troubl"e is more Howard Zinn than Dale Carnegie. It offers an alternative history of Australia, chronicling how it has progressed by a series of little rebellions." --Madeline Ostrander, yesmagazine.org
