Over 175 photographs of a Revolution in the making, for the taking, to keep on breaking, see the blue-bloods shaking, and the castles quaking, to quell the aching, get rid of the scraping, but never forsaking – our sisters and brothers, as now they are waking.
The subject matter is Income/Wealth Inequality. Inspired by past Revolutions, the book is a visual tale of modern day Revolutionaries protesting the banksters of corporate America, the ultra-rich and the politicians who enable them. It is a reflection of the struggle that millions of people are experiencing at the result of staggering income inequality, systemic racism and corporate bail-outs.
The book is 12.25×12.25in, 324 pages – over 220 photographs and images of various props, costumes, installation objects, sculpture and vintage cartoons and illustrations. The cover has a real US penny embedded in it. It includes essays on capitalism by Michael Mechanic, senior editor at Mother Jones and author of Jackpot (Simon & Schuster, 2021) and Niki Franco, writer and abolitionist organizer as well as additional texts by Chris Anthony, Eugene V. Debs and Nick Hanauer.
