An illustrated guide to collective action

Jesse Mechanic brings journalism and illustration to a guide about changing the world, drawing on the words and actions of figures including Dolores Huerta, Martin Luther King Jr., James Baldwin, Rosa Parks, Angela Davis, and Fannie Lou Hamer. The book frames activism as a response to what it describes as corrupt and inequitable systems, and presents its call to action through political ideas, historical examples, and visual commentary. Its subject is not politics in the abstract alone: the description places emphasis on participation, solidarity, and the work of building a better world.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in illustrated nonfiction about politics and activism
  • Readers exploring the ideas and actions of labor and freedom movements
  • Those interested in visual guides to collective action and social change

Book overview

A revolutionary graphic guide to changing the world, written and illustrated by journalist Jesse Mechanic (@JesseMechanic).

Legendary labor activist Dolores Huerta famously said, "Don't be a marshmallow. Walk the street with us into history. Get off the sidewalk."

Don't Be a F*#king Marshmallow is an illustrated guide to changing the world--informed by the words and actions of freedom fighters like Dolores Huerta, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., James Baldwin, Noam Chomsky, Rosa Parks, Edward Said, Angela Davis, Audre Lorde, and Fannie Lou Hamer, tied together with insight and illustrations from journalist and artist Jesse Mechanic (@JesseMechanic).

It's a book for those who have grown tired of tepid, epid political posturing that all too often fails to confront the corrupt, inequitable, and inhumane systems that define modern society--and a rallying cry for the work ahead. Overflowing with color, humor, camaraderie (and the occasional friendly dress-down), it's a vibrant, motivational companion, designed specifically for those of us who want to build a better world right now.
