	Fingerprint A visual story of international borders and security told by the fingerprint of artist Andrea Anastasio. New Andrea Anastasio and V. Gheeta When designer and artist Andrea Anastasio visited the United States some years ago, he was fingerprinted (like everyone else) by the airport immigration authorities. This moment — both banal and ominous — stayed with him until it worked its way into his art. The result is Fingerprint, a visual fable that celebrates resistance to state surveillance and control. The artist’s fingerprints, screen printed onto the pages of the book, create progressively complex patterns and sequences, transporting the fingerprint from the world of forensics and law into the freeing world of art and imagination. An accompanying essay by historian and political activist V. Geetha points to those suggestive instances when people across cultures and nations have resisted fingerprinting, asserting their right to existence while fighting all attempts to foreclose their identities.

	Revolution A unique picture-book for adults with content that is discernibly political, Revolution is a powerful allegory in red, black and white by French artist Sara. New Revolution By Sara A unique picture-book for adults with content that is discernibly political, Revolution is a powerful allegory in red, black and white by French artist Sara. Her simple yet forceful collage art evokes revolt, repression and war, but also immutable freedom in the face of tyranny. Charged with emotion, this is a world in which visuals take the place of words. Sara’s torn-paper technique creates a new language that makes for an impassioned but minimalist narrative, drawing the reader into and beyond the struggle for liberty. This English edition also includes an afterword on historical people’s revolutions and struggles from around the world. Revolution is unique combination of art and politics for all ages that communicates through visual language a timely and ardent story of the perpetual struggle for freedom, shedding perspective on past uprisings through to current events. Artists, activists, politicos, idealists and geronimos will find a spot in their hearts and on their bookshelves for this compelling book. * Winner of “The Golden Apple” at the 20th Biennial of Illustrations at Bratislava in 2005.
