Description
Book SynopsisThis volume presents new perspectives on how comics on and from Latin America both view and express memory formation on major historical events and processes.
Trade Review“This volume makes an exciting contribution to memory studies in Latin America, while responding to a growing interest in graphic fiction from the region. Its geographical scope is admirably broad, and the editors have done an excellent job of bringing together a very diverse set of discussions on the role of comics in politics and memory.” —Joanna Page, University of Cambridge
“This volume raises the most important questions about Latin America’s recent past from the unusual angle of comic books and cartooning. The politics of memory, the lingering influence of the Cold War, the awful and ambiguous effects of neoliberalism: historians’ arguments on these crucial topics will be complicated and enriched by the essays in this lovely book.” —Anne Rubenstein, York University.
