A most imperfect union : a contrarian history of the United States / by Ilan Stavans ; illustrated by Lalo Alcaraz. by Stavans, Ilan. Basic Books, [2014] Call #: 973 S798m Subjects United States -- History -- Comic books, strips, etc.   United States -- Social conditions -- Comic books, strips, etc.   United States -- Civilization -- Comic books, strips, etc.   United States -- Politics and government -- Comic books, strips, etc. ISBN:  9780465036691 (hc.) 0465036694 (hc.) Description:  xv, 269 p. : chiefly ill. ; 25 cm Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 254-255) and index. Summary:  "In A Most Imperfect Union, cultural critic Ilan Stavans and award-winning cartoonist Lalo Alcaraz present a vibrant alternative history of America, giving full voice to the country's unsung but exceptional people. From African royals to accused witches, from Puerto Rican radicals to Arab immigrants, Stavans and Alcaraz use sardonic humor and irreverent illustrations to introduce some of the most fascinating characters in American history--and to recount travesties and triumphs that mainstream accounts all too often ignore. What emerges is a colorful group portrait of these United States, one that champions America's progress while also acknowledging its missteps. Sweeping and cinematic, stretching from the nation's prehistory to the post-9/11 era, A Most Imperfect Union is a joyous, outrageous celebration of the complex, sometimes unruly individuals and forces that have shaped our ever-changing land."--From publisher.
