Painting a vivid, personal portrait of social and political upheaval in Oaxaca, Mexico, this unique memoir and political history employs comics, bilingual essays, photos and sketches to chronicle the events that unfolded around a teacher's strike and which led to a seven-month siege. Timely and compelling, this extraordinary account by award-winning cartoonist Peter Kuper, who lived in Mexico during the upheaval, presents a distinct artistic vision of Oaxacan life.

The struggle never went away, it's just sort of bubbling under the surface, and there is so much more to Oaxaca than even the incredible feat of the 2006 uprising. I love the way that Peter Kuper takes the time to point out tiny details of his stay, especially his fascination with insects. These are truly gorgeous splash pages, landscapes, collages, and. Peter Kuper does an amazing job of keeping the book dynamic and fascinating, even as personal a travelogue as it is.
The book design is among the most beautiful I've seen. Full color, full bleed, with plenty of paintings that cross the midline. The embossed cloth cover with picture insert are gorgeous, as is the red binding, and I love the sewn-in ribbon bookmark. This is like an heirloom quality book. ( )
