Holler: A Graphic Memoir of Rural Resistance by Denali Sai Nalamalapu

informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

Holler is a piece of activist art about collective resistance, in general, but primarily about the Mountain Valley Pipeline. This memoir details 6 lived experiences of resistance. The experience of reading the text as conversations with these people is pleasant, and feels very real and human.  I would have liked for these conversations to go into depth more about the intersections of climate, race, class and so on, instead the conversations with these more nuanced topics don’t expand upon them but just say them plainly.  Still, even if not perfect,  the perspective and storytelling is inspirational, and goads me to look at my own community.
