"as indispensable to confronting, say, your domineering
mother-in-law or your local city council as it is to helping foment
an ongoing and ever-escalating insurrection against, say, a sexist,
racist, nepotistic power-mad oligarchy threatening to destroy
democracy as we know it...My advice: Buy one" - VOGUE A guerrilla
guide to radical protest and joyful political resistance from
artist, activist and Pussy Riot founder Nadya Tolokonnikova. The
face of modern protest is wearing a brightly colored ski mask.
Nadya Tolokonnikova, founding member of the Russian activist group
Pussy Riot, is a creative activist, professional protestor, brazen
feminist, shocking visual artist, and force to be reckoned with.
Her spontaneous, explosive approach to political action has
involved jumping over barbed wire, kissing police officers, giving
guerilla performances in crowded subway cars, and going on a hunger
strike to protest the abuse of prisoners. She's been horse-whipped
by police in Sochi, temporarily blinded when officers threw green
paint in her eyes, and monitored by the Russian government. But
what made Nadya an activist icon overnight happened on February 21,
2012, when she was arrested for performing an anti-Putin protest
song in a Moscow church. She was sent to a Russian prison for 18
months and emerged as an international symbol of radical
resistance, as calls to "Free Pussy Riot" resounded around the
world. With her emblematic ski mask, black lipstick, and unwavering
bravery, Nadya has become an emissary of hope and optimism despite
overwhelming and ugly political corruption. Read & Riot is
structured around Nadya's ten rules for revolution (Be a pirate!
Make your government shit its pants! Take back the joy!) and
illustrated throughout with stunning examples from her
extraordinary life and the philosophies of other revolutionary
rebels throughout history. Rooted in action and going beyond the
typical "call your senator" guidelines, Read & Riot gives us a
refreshing model for civil disobedience, and encourages our right
to question every status quo and make political action
exciting--even joyful.
