Redrawing the Historical Past

Redrawing the Historical Past examines how multiethnic graphic novels portray and revise U.S. history. This is the first collection to focus exclusively on the interplay of history and memory in multiethnic graphic novels. Such interplay enables a new understanding of the past. The twelve essays explore Mat Johnson and Warren Pleece’s Incognegro , Gene Luen Yang’s Boxers and Saints , GB Tran’s Vietnamerica , Scott McCloud’s The New Adventures of Abraham Lincoln , Art Spiegelman’s post- Maus work
