Book Title: Radical: My Year with a Socialist Senator
Book Description: Using the graphic memoir format, RADICAL is a remarkable firsthand account of New Yorker cartoonist Sofia Warren’s experience embedded with New York State Senator Julia Salazar and her staff during her first year in office. From candid conversations and eyewitness experiences, Warren builds a gripping and intimate portrait of a scrappy team of community organizers battling entrenched power structures, particularly to advance Julia’s marquee issue of housing rights. Along the way, deeper questions emerge: What makes a good leader? What does it mean to be a part of a community? Can democracy work? How can everyday people make change happen?
