Propaganda of Oppression
The propaganda of oppressed groups conveys something that goes against an existing establishment. It is often argued that propaganda is a form of quasi-communication because the audience is left without an opportunity to respond to the message—thus eliminating the chance for a dialogue. In the case of the propaganda of the oppressed, the message conveys something that would otherwise be left unsaid. Instead of a tool of suppression, propaganda becomes a tool of resistance.![Don’t Buy Grapes](https://exhibitions.library.vanderbilt.edu/powerofpropaganda/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2018/03/Dont-Buy-Grapes-640x480.jpg)
