Button Power by Christen Carter, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Punch line. Political statement. Conversation piece. Souvenir. From the campaign trail to the rock tour, buttons tell a people's history of American culture and politics, and this book-the first of its kind-collects the best of them. Organized chronologically, the book begins in 1896-the year buttons were invented-and traces 120 years of defining moments and movements in U. S. history, both large and small, and illustrates how these events were graphically represented, argued, and celebrated through buttons. | Button Power by Christen Carter, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
