Description
Graphic narratives are one of the world's great art forms, but they have traditionally been dominated by Western perspectives. This collection of essays challenges this narrow approach by exploring graphic novels and comics from the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Asia.
The study of graphic narratives is expanding to include texts from around the globe, and this book examines how these works engage with, fit in with, or complicate traditional notions of World Literature. It also considers the formal qualities of graphic narratives from non-Western cultures and their intersections with issues such as translation, commodification, and circulation.
By bringing together diverse perspectives on global graphic narratives, this collection offers a fresh understanding of the field and its potential for expanding our understanding of literature and culture.
