Something to Say: Thoughts on Art and Politics in America

Richard Klin

Klin is an insightful interviewer and a marvelous writer. We were delighted to have the opportunity to publish the interview with Howard Zinn from Something to Say.–The Bloomsbury Review

The fusion of art and politics is axiomatic in much of the world. In America, their relationship is erratic. What is art in the service of social justice? Is an artist obligated to address the political? This book profiles, in words and photos, disparate creative forces who offer thoughts on their point of engagement with the political sphere. In the words of Pete Seeger, art may save the world. Visual arts, dancing, acting arts, cooking arts… . Joe DiMaggio reaching for a fly ball–that was great dancing!
