This is a really great overview of the history of protests in America. I thought I was well informed on the major protests but I learned about quite a few I hadn't heard of. I like the inclusion of pictures as well.
This book is great for teens that care about social justice and are looking to learn ways they can make a difference.
A nice overview with brief histories, etc. I wish there had been more "for further reading" type information along the way, especially on the lesser known events. Not as visual as I had hoped.
This was NOT what I was expecting for a graphic novel. This should have been under non-fiction.
Overall, a decent book. I pictures and color in the novel was great. The topic was a little dry, but it was well-written. I would image that a lot of high school libraries should have a copy of this book. The visuals and color will be appealing to the young adult audiences.
Thank you for the opportunity to read this title, however the format provided is not compatible with any device or programs that I have so I was unable to read it. I will be on the look out for this title once it hits shelves upon release. Thank you again for the opportunity.
This test is a quick overview of pre-colonial protests until contemporary times. Naturally, it covers well-known protests such as the March on Washington and the Boston Tea Party, but it also includes lesser-known ones such as the Battle of Athens and the Miss America Protests. Should readers worry that it has a leftist slant, please note that it includes protests in support of hate groups as well. The most recent protest receiving the full treatment is the March for Our Lives, but the author alludes to the Hong Kong protests in the introduction.
Each chapter is brief and has accompanying artwork. I envision recommending this text to be used in segments in literature survey courses or American history classes. The title indicates that it is a visual history, which I found a bit misleading. While each protest has accompanying artwork, it may have a few images associated with the time period or photos, but the images lack much of an explanation. The captions are extremely brief and cursory for "A Visual History."
