DESCRIPTION:
Like Joe Sacco's animated political journalism, this book offers a unique perspective on current issues, and will be a major contribution to the considerable material already written both by and about Chomsky.. In the tradition of Joe Sacco's graphic journalism comes the first interview-based graphic novel treatment of Noam Chomsky's political ideas and activism.An astonishing graphic novel that brings Chomsky's political analysis to bear on real people's stories on the frontlines of America's struggle for economic justice and human dignity. For example, when discussing the removal of books by police and sanitation workers from Zuccotti Park in November of 2011, Chomsky paused saying, "Arizona knows all about that," referring to the 2010 banning of Mexican American Studies in Tucson schools under Arizona House Bill 2281 which deemed classes that taught "ethnic solidarity" to be illegal. Rather than footnote the reference, Wilson tells that story. Although the themes are wide ranging, this book is ultimately about the importance and need for spaces of resistance in countering state and other institutional forms of violence. The Instinct for Cooperation innovatively balances those real-life stories of struggle with conversations the author has had with Chomsky on how best to understand them
