Opis

New York, 1989: as a decade of activism around the urban housing crisis and beyond comes to a close, legendary graphic artist Seth Tobocman is there to document it all in his bold comic style.

"You Don t Have to Fuck People Over to Survive" collects many of Tobocman s most enduring images in a powerhouse assemblage that cuts right to the heart of 1980s activism. All the high (and low) points are there: the imprisonment of Mumia Abu-Jamal; the rise of Reaganomics; the struggle against apartheid; the Miami Race Riots; and, of course, the turf wars that dominated the city of New York, as activists and low-income families alike demanded their rights to the city s abandoned buildings.

It s a candid portrait of a decade of struggle to preserve basic human rights and build a better world. Available now in a brand new twentieth-anniversary edition from AK Press, "You Don t Have to Fuck People Over to Survive" is a critical historical artifact and a phenomenal read, sure to appeal to a new generation of activists ready to demand the right to the city, and worthy of a place on the shelf of every historian of urban struggle.

Seth Tobocman is an author, artist, and educator living in New York City. Perhaps best known as the co-founder and editor of the comic journal "World War 3 Illustrated," Tobocman s bold graphics have been immortalized in exhibitions, in the pages of "The New York Times," and on the sides of buildings around the globe."
