Among the twenty include a warning to be aware of how symbols used today could affect tomorrow (&“4: Take responsibility for the face of the world&”), an urgent reminder to research everything for yourself and to the fullest extent (&“11: Investigate&”), a point to use personalized and individualized speech rather than clichéd phrases for the sake of mass appeal (&“9: Be kind to our language&”), and more.In this graphic edition, Nora Krug draws from her highly inventive art style in Belonging—at once a graphic memoir, collage-style scrapbook, historical narrative, and trove of memories—to breathe new life, color, and power into Snyder&’s riveting historical references, turning a quick-read pocket guide of lessons into a visually striking rumination. In a time of great uncertainty and instability, this edition of On Tyranny emphasizes the importance of being active, conscious, and deliberate participants in resistance.
