Description: Contributions by Joshua T. Anderson Chad A. Barbour Susan Bernardin Mike Borkent Jeremy M. Carnes Philip Cass Jordan Clapper James J. Donahue Dennin Ellis Jessica Fontaine Jonathan Ford Lee Francis IV Enrique Garc a Javier Garc a Liendo Brenna Clarke Gray Brian Montes Arij Ouweneel Kevin Patrick Candida Rifkind Jessica Rutherford and Jorge Santos Cultural works by and about Indigenous identities histories and experiences circulate far and wide. However not all films animation television shows and comic books lead to a nuanced understanding of Indigenous realities. Acclaimed comics scholar Frederick Luis Aldama shines light on how mainstream comics have clumsily distilled and reconstructed Indigenous identities and experiences. He and contributors emphasize how Indigenous comic artists are themselves clearing new visual - verbal narrative spaces for articulating more complex histories cultures experiences and narratives of self. To that end Aldama brings together scholarship that explores both the representation and misrepresentation of Indigenous subjects and experiences as well as research that analyzes and highlights the extraordinary work of Indigenous comic artists. Among others the book examines Daniel Parada's Zotz Puerto Rican comics Turey el Ta no and La Borinque a and Moonshot: The Indigenous Comics Collection. This volume's wide - armed embrace of comics by and about Indigenous peoples of the Americas and Australasia is a first step to understanding how the histories of colonial and imperial domination connect the violent wounds that still haunt across continents. Aldama and contributors resound this message: Indigeneity in comics is an important powerful force within our visual - verbal narrative arts writ large.
