false 6396118 1 The stories in <b>Syncopated </b>challenge convention, provide perspective, and search out secret truths–all in the inviting, accessible form of comics.<br><b><br>Syncopated</b> will give you a daringly different view of the past–from the history of vintage postcards to the glory days of old Coney Island. It will immerse you in fascinating subcultures, from the secret world of graffiti artists to the chess champs of Greenwich Village. And it will open your eyes to pieces of forgotten history–for example, the Tulsa race riots of 1921–and to new perspectives on critical current events, such as the interrogation of prisoners at Guantánamo Bay. These “picto-essays” encompass memoir, history, journalism, and biography in varied visual styles–each handpicked by Brendan Burford, one of America’s top editors. 6584737 19 5 2009 Syncopated: An Anthology of Nonfiction Picto-Essays total:21|5:8|4:8|3:4|2:1|1:0| 21 86 40 12 4 0 false false Wed Sep 02 10:16:11 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 04 09:22:56 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Aug 24 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 15 10:38:13 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 24 11:23:16 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu May 21 10:59:28 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 01 09:26:24 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Oct 08 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 06 15:52:19 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 09 05:30:19 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Aug 09 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 09 08:56:14 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 09 08:58:39 -0700 2009
