(51 votes)

A book of short comic strips outlining social and political struggles at the turn of the 21st century.

Covering 9/11, New Orleans, Aceh and the war in Iraq, Tobocman shows that world leaders are taking us all to hell in a hand basket.

His strong graphic style is used to great effect in these strips, illustrating the huge, corrupt, tragic events of our times and celebrating the resistance to be found in everyday life.

Disaster and Resistance is a sobering collection of activist art, which equally paints a grim narrative on socio-political events and calls communities to engage in action.Some topics are covered in more depth than others, and with a very critical eye Tobocman offers the reader to engage in an open dialogue.

Fantastic artwork and right-on politics merge in this brilliant new book by the radical comic book rock star Seth Tobocman. Beginning with the April 2000 IMF/World Bank protests in DC and ending with Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath, "Disaster and Resistance" covers a lot of critical global topics like 9/11, the occupation of Iraq, war profiteering, corporate globalization, gentrification, Israel and Palestine, global warming, the tsunami, and people's movements for land and dignity in Nigeria, Kenya, Indonesia and elsewhere.

Another great AK title, ha!.
