Postcolonialism and migration are central themes in contemporary French comics, with roots in the Algerian War (1954-62), antiracist struggle, and mass migration to France. This comprehensive volume explores comics from the end of the formal dismantling of French colonial empire in 1962 to the present, focusing on the work of French cartoonists of ethnic-minority and immigrant heritage. The author delves into a range of perspectives on immigration and postcolonial ethnic minorities, examining comics that range from staunch defense to violent rejection. Individual chapters are dedicated to specific artists, artistic collectives, comics, or themes, such as avant-gardism, undocumented migrants in comics, and racism in far-right comics. This publication is labeled as GPRC (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).
