"[Artivism] is an excellent, thoroughly informative piece of work that deals frontally with one of the most uncomfortable truths of our time: what appears as dissident protest is just another brick in the establishment's wall. Adams addresses these matters as a thinker and as an artist who does not shy away from upholding a higher vision of art than engineered outbursts of falsely polemical dissent."Dr. Marie Kawthar Daouda, Lecturer, University of Oxford "Alexander Adams writes incisively about art and its place in society. Alexander Adams is that relatively rare phenomenon, an artist who is also a lucid and wide-ranging critic."Simon Wilson OBE, art historian and former Tate curator (1967-2002) "Exceptionally erudite"Michael Sandle, SRA, artist "Overall, Iconoclasm, Identity Politics and the Erasure of History is a timely and beautiful document defending the importance of history and art."Dinah Kolka, The Salisbury Review
