  This book gathers together some of the best verbal protest, whether avowedly political or quietly subversive, against war, racism, slavery, chauvinism, censorship, injustice and oppression in all their guises. Vast in scope, it ranges in place and time from the Ancient Egyptian Satire of the Trades to Vaclav Havel's Memorandum , in form from Chaucerian verse to Paris graffiti, and embraces protest songs, radio broadcasts, the text of seditious posters and the transcripts of trials; Charlotte Bronte and Lenny Bruce, Aesop and Aborigines.
