Inhaltsangabe

This volume examines new comic book cultures, graphic writing, and bande dessinée texts as they relate to postcolonialism in contemporary Anglophone and Francophone settings. Chapters are framed within a larger enquiry that considers definitive aspects of the postcolonial condition in 21st century (con)texts. Authors demonstrate that the field of comic book production and circulation in various regional histories introduce new postcolonial vocabularies. These scripts employ visual grammars, image-texts, and iconic performances that reconstitute conventional "image-functions" in established social texts and political systems, re-envisioning narratives of resistance, rights, and freedoms.
