商品簡介
"Frederick Aldama has done it again with another timely and valuable book about comics. Picking up from his pioneering book Your Brain on Latino Comics, he has gathered an insightful group of authors in Multicultural Comics that deftly engage, the intersectionality of race and identity, image and idea, theory and methods, and comics and politics. The impressive range of critical essays covers steep theoretical and cultural ground yet sure-footedly demonstrates that the grand fantasyscapes illustrated across various comic book configurations are a site of real and imagined racial differentiation intensely dialoguing with the self, the nation, and the world."

"With this collection, comics studies enters a new era. Leaving behind often sterile discussion on comics versus graphic novel or popular versus high-brow, Multicultural Comics targets what should be at the heart of all cutting-edge scholarship today and tomorrow: the cultural complexities of a practice that exceeds any given boundary."
Jan Baetens, University of Leuven, author of Herge ecrivain
