Comics and Migration

The volume:
• offers a multidisciplinary perspective to the manifold entanglements of comics and migration, examining both individual works of comic art and examples of applied uses of comics and includes both academic and practice-based texts
• proposes a contextual approach to comics, which combines a focus on comics’ form and content with an emphasis on their cultural, social, political, and historical underpinnings
• expands the geographical scope of comics studies by including case studies of understudied areas such as the Nordic region, the German-language countries, Latin America and southern Asia
• will be of interest to department of comics studies, literary studies, visual art studies, cultural studies, migration, and sociology across the UK/US. Due to the interdisciplinary theme of the book it will also be useful reading to a wider academic audience interested in the representation, discourses and practices of global migration as well as activists and NGOs working with migrants for literature covering the topic.
