Instead of the powerful, rich, white folks focused on in school textbooks, these gorgeous portraits with accompanying biographies recognize the work of grassroots organizers, revolutionaries, visionaries, anarchists, workers, and artists. These heroes put their bodies and souls into fighting injustice and making their communities better and often gave their lives for the causes they believed in. Each story is vividly illustrated, offering a radical glimpse of how individuals can work to change the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese beautifully illustrated field guide to history showcases radicals, dissidents, folk singers, and rabble-rousers, from Emma Goldman to Tupac, Pablo Neruda to Fred Hampton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs say editors Shaun Slifer and Bec Young in the introduction, the book is for\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"...anyone who has sat trembling with frustration and disappointment in a history class that was neither stimulating nor inclusive.
