Zusammenfassung:"The most-up-date critical guide mapping the history, impact, key critical issues and seminal texts of the genre, Jewish Comics and Graphic Novels interrogates what makes a work a 'Jewish graphic novel', and explores the form's diverse facets to orient readers to the richness and complexity of Jewish graphic narratives. Accessible but comprehensive and in an easy-to-navigate format, the book covers such topics as: The history of the genre: Jewish graphic novels in relations to superheroes, Underground Comix and Jewish narratives in the mainstream in the US and Israel; Social and cultural discussions surrounding the legitimization of graphic representation as sites of trauma, understandings of gender, mixed-media in Jewish graphic novels and the study of these works in the classroom; Critical explorations of the Holocaust, Israel, the diasporic experience, religion and autobiography and memoir; The works of Will Eisner, Ilana Zeffren, James Sturm, Joann Sfar, JT Waldman, Barry Deutsch, Miriam Katin, Charlotte Salomon and Sarah Lightman and such narratives as X-men, Anne Frank's Diary and Maus. Jewish Comics and Graphic Novels includes an appendix of relevant works sorted by genre, a glossary of crucial critical terms and close readings of key texts to help students and readers develop their understanding of the genre and pursue independent study."
