Hear ye, hear ye! Get ready to learn all about the most powerful court in the United States.

Best-selling author, former executive editor of The New York Times, and self-confessed political junkie, Jill Abramson has written a detailed and fascinating book that explains how the highest court in the United States works, who gets to serve on it, which cases have had the greatest impact on the country, and why the US justice system is so vital to democracy.

With 80 black-and-white illustrations and an engaging 16-page photo insert, readers will be excited to read this addition to this New York Times Best-Selling series.

这本的知识很管用,虽然建国初期那段讲得比较简略,但后面有关民运、种族歧视和女性歧视的介绍很有意思,譬如 Brown v. Board of Education,Miranda v. Arizona,Roe v. Wade,还有同性婚姻这些著名法案,还有它们对美国国家和社会造成的影响。且不说能不能办到法律面前人人平等,至少在我看来没有人能凌驾于法律之上这条还是大多数美国人在坚守的一条民主准则,不过能不能别让最高法院的法官终身制了?这本是 Gregory Copeland 的插画。

I Am America 谷歌图书 豆瓣
作者: Stephen Colbert Grand Central Publishing 2007 - 10
Congratulations--just by looking at this webpage, you became 25% more patriotic.
From Stephen Colbert, the host of television's highest-rated punditry show The Colbert Report , comes the book to fill the other 23¿ hours of your day. I Am America (And So Can You!) contains all of the opinions that Stephen doesn't have time to shoehorn into his nightly broadcast.
Dictated directly into a microcassette recorder over a three-day weekend, this book contains Stephen's most deeply held knee-jerk beliefs on The American Family, Race, Religion, Sex, Sports, and many more topics, conveniently arranged in chapter form.
Always controversial and outspoken, Stephen addresses why Hollywood is destroying America by inches, why evolution is a fraud, and why the elderly should be harnessed to millstones.
You may not agree with everything Stephen says, but at the very least, you'll understand that your differing opinion is wrong.
I Am America (And So Can You!) showcases Stephen Colbert at his most eloquent and impassioned. He is an unrelenting fighter for the soul of America , and in this book he fights the good fight for the traditional values that have served this country so well for so long.
Please buy this book before you leave the store

这本书里 Stephen Colbert 这名伪共和党人给大家普及一下共和党基本盘的基本素质,也没什么(😛),就是一些厌女恐同仇外自大拥护父权好战的集大成者,本以为会很好笑的,但听他读出来整本书都是这种讽刺,而当我认识到美国确实有很多人一辈子坚定地信仰着这套我就笑不出来了,我还是喜欢听 Jon Steward 正面硬刚脱掉他们的遮羞布,Jon Steward 也助声演了,那段没认真听,考虑重新听听那段。

简短的科普小册子,题目得加上 in the US,因为介绍的是美国民主的现状(不加太自大了),并没有对民主本质和发展的渊源做很多解释,感觉面向对象是中小学生和新移民。做得好的地方是图像的呈现,用了两种颜色的线条做对比,很巧妙地表现出民主是一种秩序下的混乱、妥协和合作。本书是 CCS 出品,感觉他们网站有很多漫画创作资源,可以深挖。

Drawing the Vote: A Graphic Novel History for Future Voters Goodreads
Harry N. Abrams 2022 - 8
How the history of American voting rights have shaped the way we vote today, the perfect primer for future voters—now in paperback!<br /><br />An updated edition of Tommy Jenkin’s Drawing the Vote aimed at educating young readers.<br /><br /><br />​Originally published in the lead-up to the 2020 US presidential election, Drawing the A Graphic Novel History for Future Voters looks at the history of voting rights in the United States and how it has affected the way we vote today. Author and educator Tommy Jenkins was inspired by his students to trace this history from the earliest steps toward democracy during the American Revolution, to the upheaval caused by the Civil War, the fight for women’s suffrage, the civil rights movement, the election of an African American president, and beyond. Along the way, Jenkins identifies events and trends that led to the unprecedented results of the 2016 presidential election that left many Americans wondering, “How did this happen?” At a time when many citizens are experiencing apathy about voting and skepticism concerning our bitterly divided political parties, Drawing the Vote seeks to offer some explanation for how we got here and how every American, young and old, can take action.<br /><br />The expanded paperback edition features an additional 32 pages of comics that cover the results of the 2020 presidential election and the factors that shaped it, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the January 6 insurrection.

虽然因为作者本人的政治倾向造成某些议题讨论得不那么让人信服,但让人学到了很多历史知识,像女性和非裔美国人争取选举权的艰辛历程,像选举税、投票前文化水平测试、gerrymandering 等等荒唐丑陋的压迫手段,像共和党和民主党怎么在历史某个时期翻了个个,也要提醒自己以后不要将 grandfather 当动词使了,政治真的是件错综复杂的东西。
