zthis book provides details of protests (mostly in America) from 1492-2018. The chapters are written simply which makes it easy to read and comprehend.

This is a book that I would love every library to have in stock. Such an important historical message with lots of stories of resistance I had never heard of.

I received this copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a fairly comprehensive yet easily accessible introduction to the history of protests in the US. It covers everything from Indigenous people fighting against colonial aggressors all the way to modern day protests against police brutality. I think it would be a great addition to a middle or high school library because it talks about American history in a way that doesn't sanitize the role of white people as the aggressors who were usually in the wrong.

Of course, since it's a short book, it couldn't include every protest and every movement. I wanted to see more, but I think it was a pretty good introduction and probably a good place to start for curious young adults

A great resource for upper middle to high school teachers wanting to talk about the history of protest in this country -- I was surprised how much text there was! I was expecting a more graphic novel format but this is more text heavy with accompanying illustrations.

An informative, interesting, and inspiring text, despite some awkward moments, such as saying slave owners were "often abusive," a definite understatement. It is made clear that not all protests bring about the desired results; many issues are still being fought for/against today, and it's not downplayed that sometimes, these protests result in violence, by protestors, law enforcement, or both. It's also made clear that it is a basic right to assemble and protest in the United States. The book is put together well, with engaging layouts featuring a good balance of text, photographs, and sidebars, and a variety of subject matter. The source notes show legitimate and respected sources, and the list of recommended reading has some great choices. Overall, an inspiring read for socially active young people.

Unfortunately this title was archived and I didn't download it in time! But it looks great, and I will make an effort to check it out.

I liked the concept of the book and the events it covers. However, the writing style was a little not very engaging to me. The pictures were a good inclusion but I wished there was more. I appreciated how it covered both positive and negative aspects of protests.

Thank you to NetBalley and the publisher for allowing me to review this book I requested this ARC because of what is going on in our society today. Into the Streets is the who, what, where,when,why, and how of protests. These have been going on for centuries now...from pre-colonial protests until contemporary times. I was happy to see that the lesser known protests were also included. Bieschke has compiled just enough research and information so that the reader is not overwhelmed.

The illustrations and photographs are great! High school and middle school students will be sucked in by the pictures and want to know more!

I would recommend this book. A great read!

I am very impressed by this book! I love the layout with interesting historical photographs and art. There is just enough information given about each protest without overwhelming the reader. I am a bit of a history buff and yet, I still learned so much. This book is apropos for the current time period in which we are living. Anyone who is interested in a thorough yet concise book on the history of protests in America should find themselves fully engaged in this book.

It's important to get a full understanding our our nation's history, both it's triumphs and it's failings. And a history of protest is going to inherently contain both elements. Why else do people protest than because they have been failed in some fundamental way? Bieschke starts at the nation's formation gives us an overview of times that people have turned to public protest to regain rights that have been denied them. This includes movements with which we are familiar (the Boston Tea Party, Suffrage March, Bus Boycotts, the Grape Strike) and some that are likely to be foreign (the Stonewall Riots, the Miss America Protest, the Occupation of Alcatraz). The reasons they protested were varied, as were the results of their action. And importantly, the protests highlighted include some we might consider "bad", like Klan rallies, highlighting the importance of rights for everyone, regardless of the unpopularity of their opinions. Highly readable, this is an excellent addition to resources for young people needing to understand their rights.

I chose this book to review because of the current events in our nation today. I am also a history teacher and thought it would be a good read.

I like how Bieschke has compiled information about crucial protests in our history. Each chapter is riddled with details that explain the cause of the protests and the protests themselves. As a teacher, I love how "Into the Streets" is easy to read and the images used throughout are amazing.

I look forward to getting a copy and hopefully getting my library to get some copies so my students can utilize this resource in the classroom.

I found this very eye opening, educating, and enlightening. This is educational about protests that have been happening for centuries, where, why, and how. There are great illustrations and photographs as well. I like how the illustrations make the book actually geared towards younger generations. A good option for this trying to find their place in the protests or even just trying to figure out why people are protesting.

Into The Streets

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 for this one

What a timely books. When I saw this ARC available I immediately requested it because I wanted to know what our history of protesting was like in America. I was intrigued with questions like, has it always been how it is now? How have protests changed over the year and what all have people protested?

This book goes throughout history starting in 1492 starting with the Pueblo Revolt and the Underground Railroad up to the 2018 March for Our Lives protest. This book provides the much needed context for what each protest was trying to accomplish. Overall I found this book very informative and would be a great non-fiction addition to classroom libraries and schools.

Great images, important history, and a powerful message. This is the kind of book I wish had been around when I was a teenager.

Into the Streets is a great look at social uprising over the years in the United States. It includes a brief history lesson on numerous protests ranging from slave revolts to the Delano Grape Strike. A lot of the events (the Stonewall Riots, The Ferguson Uprising, the Wounded Knee Standoff) are typically not taught in standard text books, but are very important for young people to learn about. It feels like it covered a lot of ground and didn't seem to leave out any important moments or groups from history.
This book is perfect for younger people because it's written in very easy to understand words and is very well organized. All of the protests appear chronologically and include a brief history of what led up to the moment as well as key players behind the protests.
Bieschke didn't write this book only to inform young readers about protests in the past, but he also includes tips on how to organize your own protest at the very end of the book.
Overall, this was an informative, easy read and I will definitely be buying myself a copy of this.

I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

While this book does cover a wide variety of protests from the past five hundred years, the writing style doesn't feel accessible for independent reading at the middle grade level. There are plenty of facts, pictures, and other text features that are useful for understanding each topic, and I would definitely use the text in class, pulling out different chapters to read and discuss. This book is meant to be read, thought about and discussed, not hurried through for entertainment. It is a solid resource to use when studying different eras and protests that changed them.

Thank you, NetGalley, for this ARC.

Into the Streets contains an overview of a protests in the United States throughout history. I was pleasantly surprised to see such a diverse range of social actions - not just those traditionally included in the classroom. It included protests from both the right and left. It included protests from a variety of social groups, including Native Americans, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, and much more. Each protest is given historical context and is summarized. This includes photos (when possible), as well as boxes with additional information on activists, symbols, or other information relevant to the action being described. This book does not go into extreme detail into each protest (that is not the intention of this text), but I was impressed with the amount of detail that the book was able to incorporate. I would absolutely recommend this for teachers to incorporate in their classroom and I will be mentioning this to my local homeschool parents and tutors.

I would say that this does read like a textbook. I think that is appropriate for what it is, though I do see how that could be a negative from a student's point of view. My main criticism is related to part of the title. "Visual History" lead me to assume that this would be more heavily visual oriented. There were a lot of pictures, but I thought that either graphic novel-style writing would be incorporated or that there would be a greater emphasis on symbols and signs within protest. Regardless, this is still a solid book. It definitely achieved its goal as a history of protest in the US and I could see this educating and inspiring a lot of young people.

I can't read the book because it isn't readable on any device that I own. I don't have apps on my Android and neither my Kindle app or computer can read .acsm files and I really don't know what's the point because here it says that are PDFs not .acsm. Really disappointed.

This was quite the interesting look at protests in the United States!  Bieschke recounted plenty of tales about love and hate, war and peace, and the like.  He looked at protests from both the oppressor's side, and the oppressed--which I actually thought was a very smart move.  After all, what can we make of such things when everybody is allowed that freedom to organize and express their opinions?  And what can we do in response to such hateful opinions?

I was also quite glad that he included protests that were likely less well-known, especially for folks who are genuinely ignorant of protests such as the Pueblo revolts.  This book provides a sturdy ground on which to stand and use as a jumping point to learn more about such protests and revolts.  I was also quite pleased with the design, from the colors chosen to photographs to the paragraphs of contextual information.  

I do wish that there was a bit of a "spin" on it.  I think it could have done with a little more emphasis on the fact that protests are a part of our history and require huge amounts of time, effort, and also, at times, the privilege to participate.  After all, how can we be sure that long-term protests such as Occupy Wall Street won't cause you to lose your job?  How can we be sure that you have enough bail money in your savings account and that you're in a position to use that money for bail on purpose?  

Definitely a good book, but could also do with some direction beyond the book itself and into the streets.

[[Thank you Netgalley for give me a new experience letting me read this book about youngest streets protest around the United States history]]

I like that civil rights are seen as a fundamental part of American history, and I think there's still a stigma (if they come from the street.)

This compilation touches on topics about racial, gender discrimination. Exposing positive and negative icons in all protests. I am not American but he emphasized that with this book teaches how younger generations will learn to get their voice out and make it known in more fascist times where diversity is increasingly overshadowed
