This book, which takes the form of a graphic novel, looks at
political activism in the public landscape. It has a particular
focus on the UK activist group Led by Donkeys which has, since late
2018, been running a campaign to expose hypocrisy in the political
classes. Their approach to activism involves the use of large
posters and other forms of public display, which highlight the gap
between the rhetoric and actions of politicians, and how language
and communication is used to manipulate opinion. The activism
discussed in the book includes four major issues: Brexit, Trump,
Covid and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The book is both an
innovative visual approach to the presentation of academic research
and thought, and an exploration of how the linguistic landscape can
be a key resource for the communication of political activism.
