From the awardwinning 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 speechWE
VE BEEN HERE BEFORE . . . BUT WE FORGOT.It s 1916. President Woodrow
Wilsona deeply divisive authoritarian who is also a white supremacist with
open contempt for constitutional rightssits 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 MassesArt Young, Boardman Robinson, Cornelia Barns, and
others, dominant in their day but now forgottenas 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. governmentwith twentyyear 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
executionAwardwinning 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 todayand a terrifying and relevant warning from the past.
