Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss. An echo chamber read that really resonates. It's easy to recognize the despair, concerns, and anger at the 2016 election of Donald Trump, his presidency, and the social rupture that he represents. Of particular interest to big ol' comic fan me were the chapters on the Wonder Woman TV show, cosplay and the Punisher logo. * Received as an ARC from the publisher This graphic novel was an interesting read, but I didn't really feel like I connected with it on anything more than a superficial level. Being Canadian (even being as close as we are to the United States) I felt like I was just an observer to the events happening south of the border before/during/after the 2016 election, and even though I am fully aware that racism, bigotry, and (let's be honest) plain horrible individuals live everywhere the book didn't really hit any major notes for me. That being said, I appreciated Powell's lens of viewing the act of protest through the eyes of his children, and his themes around the challenges of growing up in this strange and interesting time. Is childhood as innocent now as it was for us growing up a generation ago? Maybe we had it easier, maybe things are "better" in many Canadian cities, or maybe we were just blissfully unaware until a slightly older age. I think for readers in different circumstances than mine (living in the U.S., having children, being more active in the protest sphere maybe) this book could potentially hit some poignant notes, but for me it wasn't much more than an observation of how a different segment of the population views the events of the last few years. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

"In this anthology of seven comics essays, author and graphic novelist Nate Powell addresses living in an era of what he calls 'necessary protest.' Save It for Later: Promises, Parenthood, and the Urgency of Protest is Powell's reflection on witnessing the collapse of discourse in real time while drawing the award-winning trilogy March, written by Congressman John Lewis and Andrew Aydin, this generation's preeminent historical account of nonviolent revolution in the civil rights movement. Powell highlights both the danger of normalized paramilitary presence symbols in consumer pop culture, and the roles we play individually as we interact with our communities, families, and society at large."--Provided by publisher.
