In this politically astute graphic novel, Gord Hill (The 500 Years of Resistance Comic Book, page 14) documents anticapitalist and anti-globalization movements around the world, from 1999’s anti-WTO protest in Seattle to 2010’s G20 summit in Toronto. The dramatic accounts trace the global origins of public protests against those in power, and depict recent events based on eyewitness testimony. As various “Occupy” movements transfix the world, this book is a deft, eye-opening look at the new class warfare, and those brave enough to wage the battle.

If there is a unifying characteristic of black identity in British Columbia, it is surely the talent for reinvention and for pioneering new versions of traditional identities that such conditions demand. Bluesprint is a groundbreaking, first-time collection of this creative output: a comprehensive anthology of literature and orature by black British Columbians that includes material from the late 1800s to today. See Compton’s other books on pages 14, 27, and 28.
