Pranksters: Making Mischief in the Modern World - Hardcover
This book explores how pranks have long been part of a tradition of speaking truth to power and social critique. From Benjamin Franklin's newspaper hoaxes to Abbie Hoffman's attempt to levitate the Pentagon, these pranks have caused laughter, disorder, and confusion for centuries. Stories of historical and contemporary figures ranging from P.T Barnum to Stephen Colbert illustrate how pranks can shape important public conversations. Written in an accessible, story-driven style, Pranksters reveals how mischief makers have left their shocking, entertaining, and educational mark on modern political and social life.(This book may contain a small black sharpie mark on the bottom edge so that it cannot be returned to another wholesaler.)
