Recenzii
"Scotsboro, Alabama still has the power to inspire anger and outrageand to remind us of a political legacy that still has relevance for the 21st century."
Against the Current "This extraordinary graphic book from 1935 reproduces 118 linocuts illustrating the history of African Americans up to and including the Scottsboro trials . A highly charged political indictment and work of art. highly recommended."
Library Journal, starred review A unique, visually stunning work . Using a simple and striking visual style to link the struggles of black America and the working class, the book preserves the Scottsboro trial as a powerful symbol of oppression, and a stark reminder of the central and horrifying struggles of American history.
Ruminator Review"The prints have tremendous visual power...they constitute a progenitor of the contemporary graphic novel that artistically outclasses most current examples of the genre."
Booklist A disturbing if visually stunning record of an episode that should not be forgotten. To document history, it suggests, is to bear witness, however painfully, to the evil within some human soulsand to the redemptive power that being aware of that ominous energy it can bring.
Black Issues Book Review "Visually powerful a great historical findand a provocative way to think about the episode."
Chicago Tribune (Editor's Choice) "An unusual cultural treasure that deserves a wide public audience. Highly recommended."
MultiCultural Review "Wow! This is political art at its most powerful. These evocative images outrage and provoke, leaving an indelible impression of an unjust world at an unjust time. Scottsboro, Alabama will incite you to join the struggle for racial equality and justice."
Alan Dershowitz, author of Supreme Injustice "A stunning artifact, Scottsboro, Alabama's narrative and images capture the tragedy of race in the American South. I haven't seen anything this tersely powerful in years."
Nell Irvin Painter, author of Sojourner Truth: A Life, A Symbol "Lee's careful introduction gives readers a special understanding of the symbolism and subtlety of these powerful and evocative graphics."
