  "A compelling biography of one of our nation's greatest journalists. Outstanding."—Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Alphonse Fletcher University Professor, Harvard University 
    
  "Well-reported and -researched."—Walter Isaacson, New York Times bestselling author of Steve Jobs and Elon Musk 
    
  A definitive account of the life and work of Garry Trudeau, creator of the massively popular and influential cartoon Doonesbury, based on archival sources and extensive interviews, including with Trudeau himself. 
    
  ​Drawing on previously unmined archival materials and extensive interviews with Trudeau, his friends, fellow cartoonists, prominent journalists, and even politicians who were mocked in the strip, Trudeau & Doonesbury is an entertaining romp through both Trudeau's remarkable life and the last half century of American history. 
    
  Biographer Joshua Kendall tells the story of the cartoonist and what drove him to put pen to paper. He traces Trudeau's boyhood in the Adirondack Mountains, his teenage angst in prep school, and his formative years at Yale, where he began drawing his iconic strip. And he shows the changing world it reflected; Doonesbury began appearing in papers nationwide in 1970, and big events, from Watergate to the war in Vietnam, fueled its popularity and its significance. 
    
  For more than 50 years, Doonesbury has helped drive the national conversation. The first comic strip to win a Pulitzer Prize, Garry Trudeau's sprawling narrative featuring a host of beloved characters has reflected America back to itself, capturing the highlights and lowlights of American politics and culture with wit and penetrating insight. And as Doonesbury's characters aged alongside their creator, Trudeau became one of the preeminent chroniclers of the Baby Boom generation. 
    
  Trudeau & Doonesbury is a unique and compelling biography of both the individual behind Doonesbury and the times he has chronicled.

  The first comprehensive guide for leading BIPOC affinity groups for challenging white supremacy, healing racial trauma, and taking collective action 
   
   
   
  Meeting in racial affinity groups is a common practice in anti-racist, social justice, diversity, and similar educational endeavors. These groups provide a structured space in which participants can explore how racism personally impacts them, process specific experiences of racism, receive validation and support from their peers, heal, and strategize next steps for challenging racism, white supremacy, and internalized racial oppression. 
   
   
   
  In A Space for Us, Michelle Cassandra Johnson brings her over twenty years of experience leading dismantling-racism work to provide the first affinity-group guide made for BIPOC communities. This essential guide will: provide an understanding of the racial hierarchy and how it has impacted Black people, Indigenous people, and People of Color differently; define and share common manifestations of internalized racial oppression; define anti-Blackness and provide skills to interrupt and address it; share rituals, practices, and sample agendas for affinity groups; provide rituals and tools for healing in BIPOC affinity groups; and provide information about how to come back together as BIPOC and white people to strategize and take collective action.
