In three wide-ranging exchanges prompted by American blues singer Linda MacDonald-Lewis, artist Alexander Moffat and poet Alan Riach discuss cultural, political and artistic movements, the role of the artist in society and the effect of environment on artists from all disciplines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArts of Resistance examines the lives and work of leading figures from Scotland's arts world in the twentieth century, concentrating on poets and artists but also including writers, musicians and architectural visionaries such as Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Patrick Geddes. Poets studied include Hugh MacDiarmid, Sorley MacLean, Iain Crichton Smith, Edwin Morgan and Liz Lochhead; artists include William McTaggart, William Johnstone and the Scottish Colourists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe investigation into the connection between the arts and political culture includes historical issues, from British imperialism to a devolved Scotland. Finally, the contribution to poetry and art of each major Scottish city is discussed: Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dundee. Highly illustrated with paintings and poems, Arts of Resistance is a beautifully produced book providing facts and controversial opinions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-sleek-node-id=\"l179lS\"\u003e\u003cem data-sleek-node-id=\"obzjSa\"\u003eA landmark book.\u003cstrong data-sleek-node-id=\"G2C1aS\"\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong data-sleek-node-id=\"kdwsqK\"\u003eTIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-sleek-node-id=\"VbwYjg\"\u003e\u003cem data-sleek-node-id=\"ObczRn\"\u003eIt's a sumptuous book, worth every button.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong data-sleek-node-id=\"kLJOcO\"\u003eSCOTTISH REVIEW OF BOOKS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-sleek-node-id=\"lL0xHJ\"\u003e\u003cem data-sleek-node-id=\"l7LE6i\"\u003eBreathtaking collection.\u003cstrong data-sleek-node-id=\"tY1xqZ\"\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong data-sleek-node-id=\"YHSkoG\"\u003eTHE SCOTSMAN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-sleek-node-id=\"fC8Gd5\"\u003e\u003cem data-sleek-node-id=\"N9Dnac\"\u003eThis is punchy stuff in a memorable and stimulating book. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong data-sleek-node-id=\"0d1ZWo\"\u003eTHE SCOTS MAGAZINE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\u003c!-- Why You'll Love This Ebook --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love This Ebook\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArt as a weapon of resistance and social critique.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExplores how creativity fights injustice.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished by Luath Press, Scotland's leading independent publisher.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA powerful examination of art's political potential.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\u003c!-- About the Author --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" data-sleek-node-id=\"2QXEVk\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-sleek-node-id=\"zuAb7c\"\u003eALEXANDER (SANDY) MOFFAT RSA is an artist and teacher. \u003cspan data-sleek-node-id=\"jlMxfs\"\u003eBorn in Dunfermline in 1943 he studied painting at Edinburgh College of Art.
