Book ID/图书代码： 12070011B51407

English Summary/英文概要： Can a cartoonist and millions of random strangers change the world? The initial stages of their attempt are chronicled in this book of comics-journalism and written observations.

Stephanie McMillan, long-time activist and cartoonist, has waited her entire life for the American people to rise up. Sparked by uprisings around the world, a new movement bursts onto the national scene against a system that denies the people a decent life and puts the planet at risk.

With delightful drawings, interviews, dialogue, description and insightful reflections, this book chronicles the first several months of the fragile and contradictory movement. It situates detailed personal experiences and representative narratives within the broad context of a truly unique and historical global conjuncture. This book will stand as a record of the emerging movement in accessible comics form.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 漫画家和数以百万计的陌生人能改变世界吗？他们开始的企图都记录在这本漫画式的新闻和书面记录中。

Stephanie McMillan，长期活动家和漫画家，穷尽其一生都在等待美国人民的崛起。被世界各地的起义所启发，一个新的运动搬上了国家政治的舞台，它与拒绝人们体面的生活的体制对抗,并使得地球处于风险中。

有着令人愉悦的图画、采访、对话、描述和深刻的反思，这本书记载了最初的几个月里脆弱并相互矛盾的运动。在这真正独特和历史性的全球危机的大背景下，它详细描写了个人经历和一些有代表性的叙述。这本书将由于其对新兴运动的易懂的漫画形式的描述而创造记录。(LNL)
