Multiculturalism, and its representation, has long presented
challenges for the medium of comics. This book presents a wide
ranging survey of the ways in which comics have dealt with the
diversity of creators and characters and the (lack of) visibility
for characters who don t conform to particular cultural
stereotypes. Contributors engage with ethnicity and other cultural
forms from Israel, Romania, North America, South Africa, Germany,
Spain, U.S. Latino and Canada and consider the ways in which comics
are able to represent multiculturalism through a focus on the
formal elements of the medium. Discussion themes include education,
countercultures, monstrosity, the quotidian, the notion of the
other," anthropomorphism, and colonialism. Taking a truly
international perspective, the book brings into dialogue a broad
range of comics traditions.
