Helsingen Sanomat reports that a poster by Jukka Veistola which mobilized Finland to ban DDT back in the 1970s, has been included in a new book marking the most effective posters of the 20th century.

It’s great news, really.
A book has been published in Mexico that portrays the world’s most important posters from the 20th and the early 21st century. The book contains 120 posters, the artists of which include Andy Warhol, Joan Miró, and Pablo Picasso among others.
Included among this worthy company is also Finnish illustrator Jukka Veistola’s ideological DDT poster from 1969.
Veistola’s startling red and blue work was a prizewinner at the Warsaw International Poster Biennale in 1970, and was subsequently acquired by the New York Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) into its collections.In part, Veistola’s poster contributed to Finland’s becoming one of the first countries in the world to ban the use of the synthetic pesticide DDT (Dichloro-Diphenyl-Trichloroethane).
I do have a couple of questions, though: First, what’s the name of the book? Second, who is the editor? Third, who published the book?
It’s great to know that the poster is in a book somewhere; it would help those who would want to find or buy the book to know the name of the book, the editor or author, and the publisher.
(We should note, too, that a gas mask wouldn’t have protected songbirds. They got the DDT by eating insects with the stuff in ’em. A dozen worms would carry a dose high enough to kill a robin; robins might eat a dozen worms in an hour.)
Spread the word; friends don't allow friends to repeat history.

You can leave a response, or trackback from your o Social movements inevitably encounter the conundrum of how the changes they advocate are actually going to be implemented. By definition, modern social movements operate outside the political establishment of parliaments and parties; but since these institutions are more often than not the ones responsible for implementing those changes, social movements will need to decide how to approach them. Whether to choose reform, revolution, or riot as the modus operandi is an important choice that throws into stark relief the political tensions inside social movements. This was particularly true of the 1960s – considered by many to be the heyday of modern social movement activism. This dissertation examines the political language of radical social movements of that era in Finland and Sweden from a transnational perspective. By using a combination of novel historical methods, the dissertation approaches political agency as an interconnected, rhizomatic network of local, global, physical, and textual action. Particular attention is paid to the transnational connections between these Nordic movements and other European and global actors, paying special attention to West German radicalism as a potential resource and point of reference for Nordic politics. This thesis covers the development of the wide range of movements that were considered “radical” in their societal approach during the “Long Sixties”. This means it deals with more than just the upheavals of 1968; instead, it covers a longer political process starting with the pacifist and modernist cultural movements of the early Sixties to the emergence of the Nordic New Left and its turn towards a more dogmatic and, in some instances, even a Maoist line. By incorporating these different political movements, the thesis not only traces changes in the politics of the independent Left; it also cover a gamut of political traditions fro .Reform, Revolution, Riot?
