Omschrijving
A revolutionary graphic guide to changing the world, written and illustrated by journalist Jesse Mechanic (@JesseMechanic). Legendary labor activist Dolores Huerta famously said, “Don’t be a marshmallow. Walk the street with us into history. Get off the sidewalk.” Don’t Be a F*#king Marshmallow is an illustrated guide to changing the world—informed by the words and actions of freedom fighters like Dolores Huerta, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., James Baldwin, Noam Chomsky, Rosa Parks, Edward Said, Angela Davis, Audre Lorde, and Fannie Lou Hamer, tied together with insight and illustrations from journalist and artist Jesse Mechanic (@JesseMechanic). It’s a book for those who have grown tired of tepid, performative activism that all too often fails to confront the corrupt, inequitable, and inhumane systems that define modern society—and a rallying cry for the work ahead. Overflowing with color, humor, camaraderie (and the occasional friendly dress-down), it’s a vibrant, motivational companion, designed specifically for those of us who want to build a better world right now.
