    The people, ideals and events that have shaped a nation - in comic book form

    Following in the footsteps of the highly successful Queer: A Graphic History, illustrator Julia Scheele teams up with Dr Laura Locker in this comic-book introduction to the political history of the Land of Opportunity.


    How did
    a political outsider like Trump win the 2016 presidential election? Why do some
    Americans feel so strongly about gun rights? Is there a role for more than two
    political parties in the system?


    Politics
    isn't something that just occurs in the West Wing or the gleaming Capitol
    building - it comes from the interaction between state and society, the
    American people living their daily lives. In this unique graphic guide, we
    follow modern citizens as they explore everything from the United States'
    political culture, the Constitution and the balance of power, to social
    movements, the role of the media, and tensions over race, immigration, and LGBT
    rights.


    Step
    right up, and see what lies beneath the pageantry and headlines of this great
    nation.
