Crossroads: I Live Where I Like: A Graphic History by Koni Benson

3.0

 lots of really good info in here but it unfortunately doesn't translate well as a graphic novel. I feel like I could have processed it all better as a full on book rather than the huge chunks of text forced into small boxes. the timeline jumps around, and in general this doesn't have a ton of context for anyone who isn't as well-versed in this place + time in history. I feel like I walked away from this with some more knowledge, but it would have been better conveyed and easier to access through a different medium. there could have been other additions made (a list of the key political players and brief bios on them, a generalized timeline that could be referenced by the reader, a glossary for different terms and organization names that crop up a lot) that would have made this work easier to keep up with.
