Reviews

"Culture Jamming is a must for modern day activists who want to overturn the status quo, and fast, and who embrace the creativity and interconnectedness of modern life."
*Foreword Reviews*

"A vivid picture of significant episodes along a timeline spanning more than two decades . . . This book represents a collection of mostly successful cultural resistance tactics . . . hopefully inspiring new effective strategies for the times ahead."
*Neural*

"The essays, interviews, and creative work assembled in this unique volume explore the shifting contours of culture jamming by plumbing its history, mapping its transformations, testing its force, and assessing its efficacy. Revealing how culture jamming is at once playful and politically transgressive, this accessible collection explores the degree to which culture jamming has fulfilled its revolutionary aims. . . . a crucial contribution to our understanding of creative resistance and participatory culture."

"Culture Jamming subverts an engineered ‘culture of consumption,’ identifying the oppressive relationships upon which knowledge creation is founded and taking steps to emancipate society from false narratives of creativity."
