{"product_id":"the-anti-capitalist-resistance-comic-book-gord-hill-9781551524443","title":"The Anti-Capitalist Resistance Comic Book","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn recent years the world has borne witness to numerous confrontations, many of them violent, between protesters and authorities at pivotal gatherings of the world's political and economic leaders. While police and the media are quick to paint participants as anarchistic thugs, accurate accounts of their subsequent treatment at the hands of authorities often go untold--as well as the myriad stories of corporate and government corruption, greed, exploitation, and abuse of power that inspired such protests in the first place. In this startling, politically astute graphic novel, Gord Hill (\u003ci\u003eThe 500 Years of Resistance Comic Book\u003c\/i\u003e) documents the history of capitalism as well as anti-capitalist and anti-globalization movements around the world, from the 1999 \"Battle of Seattle\" against the World Trade Organization to the Toronto G20 summit in 2010. The dramatic accounts trace the global origins of public protests against those in power, then depict recent events based on eyewitness testimony; they go far to contradict the myths of violence perpetrated by authorities, and instead paint a vivid and historically accurate picture of activists who bring the crimes of governments and multinationals to the world's attention. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs the \"Occupy\" movements around the world unfold, \u003ci\u003eThe Anti-Capitalist Resistance Comic Book\u003c\/i\u003e is a deft, eye-opening look at the new class warfare, and those brave enough to wage the battle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gord Hill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1551524449\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781551524443\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arsenal Pulp Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.90w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/30\/2012 pg. 121","brand":"Gord Hill","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995060732159,"sku":"9781551524443","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d0361329-6243-4f2a-b2eb-82cd5f068583.jpg?v=1683333694","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-anti-capitalist-resistance-comic-book-gord-hill-9781551524443","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
