From the award-winning author of My Friend Dahmer and Kent State comes a timely graphic novel about racism, violence, and political turmoil in the early 20th century, when a handful of cartoonists and journalists pushed back against a corrupt administration to defend the rights of free speech "WE'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE . . . BUT WE FORGOT." It's 1916. President Woodrow Wilson-a deeply divisive authoritarian who is also a white supremacist with open contempt for constitutional rights-sits in the Oval Office. Racial tensions, unprecedented economic inequality, a groundswell of support for unionization, and the rise of both a reactionary far right militia and a growing radical opposition shake the very foundations of American society. A pandemic is two years away. And the 1900s have only just gotten started. "AMERICA IS A COUNTRY ON THE BRINK OF CHAOS." The Dissidents follows a group of real and influential political cartoonists who worked for the magazine The Masses-Art Young, Boardman Robinson, Cornelia Barns, and others, dominant in their day but now forgotten-as well as a fictional young German immigrant from Cleveland, Joe Hertle, who has come to New York to make his name. They rub elbows with the great opposition voices of the day, such as journalists Max Eastman and John Reed, and the radical provocateur Emma Goldman. What they document in their cartoons and illustrations is a country spiraling into darkness, under attack by German saboteurs and private militias, plagued by racism, and rocked by class war. For the crime of documenting the times they live in, these cartoonists are indicted for sedition and put on trial by the U.S. government-with twenty-year sentences hanging over their heads. Two others are forced to flee the country into exile. Another is incarcerated by the U.S. army and scheduled for execution! Award-winning author Derf Backderf raises the bar for visual storytelling in this gripping, layered, and perceptive original graphic novel, told through the lens of the political cartoonists whose work shaped our history and also held a mirror to it. Finding a personal connection as a journalist who started out as a political cartoonist, he opens a door to our past and crafts a story that pulls from the strongest elements of his previous work. In The Dissidents, Backderf delivers an utterly unique account of U.S. history, making connections to the events of today as they relate to the seeds that were sown over a hundred years ago. The Dissidents is his magnum opus. It is a gripping tale of political passion, artistic ambition, love, and betrayal, with great characters and unexpected twists. It's a suspenseful and fascinating American story that is almost completely forgotten today-and a terrifying and relevant warning from the past.
