"""[Iconoclasm's] strengths lie in Mr Adams’s characteristic command of illuminating information, presented in abundant but clear factual detail… [It] includes a condensation of reasons why we should oppose iconoclasm and suggestions of what to do about it: good advice, which I hope will be followed."" -- Eric Coombes * The Jackdaw * ""[Adams] masterfully recounts the history of defacement, iconoclasm in art, and the meaning pf the events of 2020… 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 * ""[Adams'] two books [with Imprint Academic] are courageous marks in the debate which too many try to silence..."" -- David Platzer * The British Art Journal * ""[This] powerful new book chronicles 2020's artifact attrition, examining the iconoclastic phenomenon from an impressive array of artistic, historical, political, and psychological perspectives."" -- Derek Turner * Chronicles Magazine *"
