About this Item
Featuring an image of Uncle Sam smoking a cigar and leaning on an oversized syringe, "Uncle Sam the Pusher Man" provides a frank look at narcotics addiction in America, putting the blame squarely on American capitalism and calling for the de-criminalization of drug use. Highlights the rise of methadone addiction after methadone was touted as a "cure" for heroin addiction, and how the government is complicit in the country's ongoing addiction. Includes several powerful political cartoons, such as one in which a Black man topples over a row of syringes to finally knock over American Capitalism, anthropomorphized as a pig with a large bag of money. Single vol. (10" by 7"), pp. 19, [3], illus. in original illus. light green wrps. Approx. 10 copies on WorldCat. Seller Inventory # 24003305
