Black Comics: Politics of Race and Representation

The media could not be loaded.  99% of the table of contents aren't in the book, which is weird. Only has chapters 13 & 14 in the table of contents.

Love the history of this book of comics And the way it is written thanks

Black Comics is so well written and provides a wealth of information which so eloquently gives the reader an in depth perspective of the genesis of black comic writers and how underrepresented they are. It opens the door to inspire one to do further research to understand the plight of black comic writers and how they have evolved over time. It also brings to light various issues that comic writers have tried to deal with in their comic strips. Over the years I have never read comics thinking of social issues but now I am inspired to reread some older comic strips to try to really understand the social issues and not just look at black comics for their comedic value. The book also covers so many varying perspectives, that you will never just read a black comic book again, without thinking about, what is this writer trying to say or what is the social issue that this comic strip is dealing with or what is the writer trying to get a cross to the audience. This book has me looking at comics more seriously and for that, I am very grateful and inspired.Dr Sheena Howard has me excited about future books to come!

I apologize for responding so late but item arrived in good condition

This is a book from an academic's point of view. No off the street or assumption type of critique. The author knows her stuff with a sharp eye view of the topic. Wonderful read, but at the same time one book can't lend the only side to the story.

This is an excellent collection of new essays on a much neglected topic of popular culture. It would be a great resource for public libraries, as well as research scholars. I highly recommend it.

I got it a little late. But that was because I didn't know that the author would be at the Baltimore Comic Con to sign it.
