Immigrants and Comics is an interdisciplinary, themed anthology
that focuses on how comics have played a crucial role in
representing, constructing, and reifying the immigrant subject and
the immigrant experience in popular global culture of the twentieth
and twenty-first centuries. Nhora Lucia Serrano and a diverse group
of contributors examine immigrant experience as they navigate new
socio-political milieux in cartoons, comics, and graphic novels
across cultures and time periods. They interrogate how immigration
is portrayed in comics and how the 'immigrant' was an indispensable
and vital trope to the development of the comics medium in the
twentieth century. At the heart of the book's interdisciplinary
nexus is a critical framework steeped in the ideas of remembrance
and commemoration, what Pierre Nora calls lieux de memoire. This
book will be of interest to students and scholars in Visual
Studies, Comparative Literature, English, Ethnic Studies,
Francophone Studies, American Studies, Hispanic Studies, art
history, and museum studies.
