<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A new and expanded version of Gord Hill's seminal illustrated history of Indigenous struggles in the Americas, available in color for the first time.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>When it was first published in 2010, <i>The 500 Years of Resistance Comic Book</i> was heralded as a groundbreaking illustrated history of Indigenous activism and resistance in the Americas over the previous 500 years, from contact to present day. Eleven years later, author and artist Gord Hill has revised and expanded the book, which is now available in color for the first time. <p/> <i>The 500 Years of Resistance Comic Book</i> powerfully portrays flashpoints in history when Indigenous peoples have risen up and fought back against colonizers and other oppressors. Events depicted include the the Spanish conquest of the Aztec, Mayan and Inca empires; the 1680 Pueblo Revolt in New Mexico; the Battle of Wounded Knee in 1890; the resistance of the Great Plains peoples in the 19th century; and more recently, the Idle No More protests supporting Indigenous sovereignty and rights in 2012 and 2013, and the resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline in 2016. <p/> With strong, plain language and evocative illustrations, this revised and expanded edition of <i>The 500 Years of Resistance Comic Book</i> reveals the tenacity and perseverance of Indigenous peoples as they endured 500-plus years of genocide, massacre, torture, rape, displacement, and assimilation: a necessary antidote to conventional histories of the Americas. <p/> The book includes a foreword by Pamela Palmater, a Mi'kmaq lawyer, professor, and political commentator.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Gord Hill is a member of the Kwakwaka'wakw nation and the author of <i>The 500 Years of Resistance Comic Book, The Anti-Capitalist Resistance Comic Book</i>, and <i>The Antifa Comic Book</i>.
