Latin American comics and graphic novels have a unique history of
addressing controversial political, cultural, and social issues.
This volume presents new perspectives on how comics on and from
Latin America both view and express memory formation on major
historical events and processes. The contributors, from a variety
of disciplines including literary theory, cultural studies, and
history, explore topics including national identity construction,
narratives of resistance to colonialism and imperialism, the
construction of revolutionary traditions, and the legacies of
authoritarianism and political violence. The chapters offer a
background history of comics and graphic novels in the region, and
survey a range of countries and artists such as Joaquin Salvador
Lavado (a.k.a Quino), Hector G. Oesterheld, and Juan Acevedo. They
also highlight the unique ability of this art and literary form to
succinctly render memory. In sum, this volume offers in-depth
analysis of an understudied, yet key literary genre in Latin
American memory studies and documents the essential role of comics
during the transition from dictatorship to democracy.
