What Remains is a groundbreaking graphic novel that seamlessly blends documentary and memoir styles to vividly depict the sociopolitical tapestry of Colombia, spanning a remarkable 200-year history. Camilo Aguirre skillfully navigates through pivotal historical epochs, interweaving personal family narratives and captivating anecdotes of students, union workers, and guerilla fighters. Through his critical and unflinching lens, Aguirre offers a profound and mobilizing portrayal of Colombia, relentlessly seeking resolution. While maintaining a hopeful outlook, Aguirre avoids succumbing to fictional optimism. The individuals and families portrayed in the novel serve as a intricate composite portrait of life in Colombia, drawn from contrasting perspectives on the political spectrum. Colombia is inextricably linked to the intricate lives and identities of its people, as well as the lives of Aguirre and his family. Aguirre, residing in distant Minneapolis, intricately narrates the complexities of power and politics, encompassing American and corporate interventions, internal hierarchies of wealth and power, and the profound impact of emerging globalization and neoliberalism. During these political phases, the criminalization and persecution of union workers and students persist. What Remains poses a thought-provoking question, which Aguirre answers through a deeply personal lens. He demonstrates that the essence of Colombia lies in the rich and diverse lives of its people.
