This is a handbook for change. Because we all know ways in which life could be better. And it can be better. We can make it better. We don't need to wait for a leader or saviour. We don't need to limit ourselves to comments and clicks. In this stunningly original comic-book tour of a serious topic, Jeff Sparrow and Sam Wallman explore 12 powerful ideas distilled from the history of struggle for better lives, better working conditions, and a better world. They show how solidarity can be built across growing divisions - without compromising our values. 'Strife' is just another word for making yourself heard. In fun, short, shareable chapters, 12 Rules for Strife shows how together we can change everything. 'This impressively succinct guide to political struggle would make an excellent primer for anyone interested in understanding much of what is happening around the world right now ... Wallman's use of punchy colours and intricate illustration adds dynamic energy to Sparrow's distillation of political theory.' -Sian Cain, The Guardian 'A great deal of effort has obviously gone into conceptualising this book regarding what rules to select and formulate and how these might be treated visually. The result is that the text and illustrations merge creatively, the two becoming one in a seamless unity. The end product is more than a book; it is a significant work of political art.' -Rowan Cahill, Recorder '12 Rules for Strife might be economical in its telling, but its stirring imagery and hopeful idealism make for a rich experience - one sure to inspire others to assume the mantle of practical activism.' -Nathan Smith, The Saturday Paper
