In the tradition of Joe Sacco's graphic journalism comes the first interview-based graphic novel treatment of Noam Chomsky's political ideas and activism.
An astonishing graphic novel that brings Chomsky's political analysis to bear on real people's stories on the frontlines of America's struggle for economic justice and human dignity.
The Instinct for Cooperation
innovatively balances those real-life stories of struggle with conversations the author has had with Chomsky on how best to understand them. Although the themes are wide-ranging this book is ultimately about the importance and need for spaces of resistance in countering state and other institutional forms of violence. For example when discussing the removal of books by police and sanitation workers from Zuccotti Park in November of 2011 Chomsky paused to say "Arizona knows all about that" referring to the 2010 ban of Mexican American Studies in Tucson schools under Arizona House Bill 2281 which deemed classes that taught “ethnic solidarity” to be illegal. Rather than footnote the reference Wilson tells that story. Like Joe Sacco's animated political journalism this book offers a unique perspective on current issues while providing a major contribution to the understanding of Chomsky's political theories.

"The Instinct for Cooperation
expands the burgeoning graphic- novel format into new territory adding dimensionality to an interview with intellectual progressive icon Jeff Wilson's interview is wide-ranging and interesting; Eliseu Gouveia's comic art serves as a

for Chomsky's responses. for illustrations and digressions that wouldn't be possible in a 'normal' prose book on the same topic. Even if you think you know all about Chomsky this is well worth checking out."
?Ted Rall cartoonist author and graphic novelist
"In this kaleidoscopic experimental comic book writer Jeff Wilson uses a conversation with Noam Chomsky as a jumping off point to explore everything from the Spanish Civil War to Medicare to Occupy Wall Street is life affirming and sophisticated again and again Jeff returns to the basic goodness of human beings and the possibilities for our liberation Seeing the work of a bright new comics writer like Jeff makes me optimistic about the future of comics. and society in general."

"What can be done? How do we begin to understand how to organize our thoughts?and our communities?to right inherent wrongs? One place to Wilson a doctoral candidate in geography at the University of Arizona has distilled some of Chomsky's ideas about threats to social and economic justice into a series of conversations with Chomsky and others. These chats highlight moments in history that could very well be seen as tipping points where decisive action spawned by malaise replaced complacency. This book may serve as a primer for those who are interested in learning how to better organize themselves to confront issues that plague our communities."
?Santa Fe New Mexican
"Graphic novels are typically much more nuanced than their comic. book cousins. Epic showdowns of good vs. evil though come in many forms and putting themes of social justice into an illustrated format is ingenious a way of making big concepts both accessible and surprisingly entertaining."
