The Beginning of the American Fall: A Comics Journalist Inside the Occupy Wall Street Movement - Softcover
Synopsis
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 full-color 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.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Beginning of the American Fall is an account of the first few months of the Occupy Movement, in which McMillan combines interviews, dialogue, description, insightful reflections and her charming drawings to form a firsthand account of the movement that is shaking America's social, political and economic core. She reveals the crusade's initial struggles, during a time when it was fragile and contradictory, and where people's expectations and goals were muddled and seemingly unattainable. In a unique comics form, this is an utterly distinctive record of the Occupy Movement. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
