This collection examines new comic-book cultures, graphic writing,
and bande dessinee texts as they relate to postcolonialism in
contemporary Anglophone and Francophone settings. The individual
chapters are framed within a larger enquiry that considers
definitive aspects of the postcolonial condition in
twenty-first-century (con)texts. The authors demonstrate that the
fields of comic-book production and circulation in various regional
histories introduce new postcolonial vocabularies, reconstitute
conventional "image-functions" in established social texts and
political systems, and present competing narratives of resistance
and rights. In this sense, postcolonial comic cultures are of
particular significance in the context of a newly global and
politically recomposed landscape. This volume introduces a timely
intervention within current comic-book-area studies that remain
firmly situated within the "U.S.-European and Japanese manga
paradigms" and their reading publics. It will be of great interest
to a wide variety of disciplines including postcolonial studies,
comics-area studies, cultural studies, and gender studies.
