Rifkind, Jessica Rutherford, and Jorge Santos Cultural works by and
about Indigenous identities, histories, and experiences circulate
far and wide. However, not all films, animation, television shows,
and comic books lead to a nuanced understanding of Indigenous
realities. Acclaimed comics scholar Frederick Luis Aldama shines
light on how mainstream comics have clumsily distilled and
reconstructed Indigenous identities and experiences. He and
contributors emphasize how Indigenous comic artists are themselves
clearing new visual-verbal narrative spaces for articulating more
complex histories, cultures, experiences, and narratives of self.
To that end, Aldama brings together scholarship that explores both
the representation and misrepresentation of Indigenous subjects and
experiences as well as research that analyzes and highlights the
extraordinary work of Indigenous comic artists. Among others, the
book examines Daniel Parada's Zotz, Puerto Rican comics Turey el
Taino and La Borinquena, and Moonshot: The Indigenous Comics
Collection. This volume's wide-armed embrace of comics by and about
Indigenous peoples of the Americas and Australasia is a first step
to understanding how the histories of colonial and imperial
domination connect the violent wounds that still haunt across
continents. Aldama and contributors resound this message:
Indigeneity in comics is an important, powerful force within our
visual-verbal narrative arts writ large.
