Objects of Dissent: Decoding Units of Protest is a compendium on cultural semiotics and their connections with the act of modern-day protest. The book surveys the objects, language, symbols and codes of resistance by breaking down the historical, regional and modern-day uses of each unit to reveal the intricacies of language juxtaposed with the intricacies of civil disobedience. Each segment tells a different story about the nature of symbols, language and protest.

Judge's Pick

The book provides an objective historical survey alongside critical analysis and an editorial perspective with visual design that is clear and striking. The sophisticated use of typography presents the different tonal approaches. In my mind, this should be essential reading for future applicants to the So(cial) Good Design Awards.
