Recenzii
"Latinx Comics Studies is an indispensable volume that dives into the crosscurrents of Latinx identity and how it is shaped by and shapes the comics medium. A vital resource, this interdisciplinary collection firmly establishes that Latinx comics is a dynamic field at the forefront of today's critical study of graphic narratives."
"Shattering mainstream understandings of comics, these essays reveal how comic art by Latinx creators has played important roles in forging communities, mobilizing archives, and enriching our understandings of space, place, and identity."

Descriere
Latinx Comics Studies considers the role of comics and graphic narrative in picturing the rich realities of Latinx communities. It brings together groundbreaking critical essays, practical reflections, original and republished short comics to explore how comics by, for, and about Latinx peoples creatively and conceptually experiment with the very boundaries of “Latinx.”
