A wonderful retelling of the famous anarchis and radical icon Emma
Goldman's extraordinary life, this graphic biography embodies the
richness and drama of Goldman's story in a wholly original way.

century, from leading hunger demonstrations during the Great
Depression to lecturing on how to use birth control to fighting

The first-ever graphic biography of Paul Robeson, Ballad of an
American, charts Robeson’s career as a singer, actor, scholar,
athlete, and activist who achieved global fame. Through his films,
concerts, and records, he became a potent symbol representing the
promise of a multicultural, multiracial American democracy at a
time when, despite his stardom, he was denied personal access to
his many audiences. Robeson was a major figure in the rise of
anti-colonialism in Africa and elsewhere, and a tireless campaigner
for internationalism, peace, and human rights. Later in life, he
embraced the civil rights and antiwar movements with the hope that
new generations would attain his ideals of a peaceful and abundant
world. Ballad of an American features beautifully drawn chapters by
artist Sharon Rudahl, a compelling narrative about his life, and an
afterword on the lasting impact of Robeson’s work in both the
arts and politics. This graphic biography will enable all kinds of
readers—especially newer generations who may be unfamiliar with
him—to understand his life’s story and everlasting global
significance. Ballad of an American: A Graphic Biography of Paul
Robeson is published in conjunction with Rutgers University’s
centennial commemoration of Robeson’s 1919 graduation from the
university. Study guide for Ballad of an American: A Graphic
