Críticas:

"Scottsboro, Alabama...provides a unique graphic history of one of the most infamous, racially-charged episodes in the annals of American justice." -New Voice of New York "The prints have tremendous visual power...they constitute a progenitor of the contemporary graphic novel that artistically outclasses most current examples of the genre." -Booklist (July 2002) "This extraordinary graphic book from 1935 reproduces 118 linocuts illustrating the history of African Americans up to and including the Scottsboro trials... the reproductions are excellent, and Lee and Robin D.G. Kelley provide background essays on the trials and the provenance of the book. A welcome addition to all collections... highly recommended." -Library Journal,starred review "A stunning artifact, Scottsboro, Alabama's narrative and images capture the tragedy of race in the American South. I haven't seen anything this tersely powerful in years." - Nell Irvin Painter,author of Sojourner Truth: A Life, A Symbol "Wow! This is political art at its most powerful. These evocative images outrage and provoke, leaving an indelible impression of an unjust world at an unjust time. Scottsboro, Alabama will incite you to join the struggle for racial equality and justice." -Alan Dershowitz,author ofSupreme Injustice
