Three years after the publication of the groundbreaking Asian American comics anthology Secret Identities, the same team is back with a new volume that is bigger, bolder and more breathtaking in scope. Shattered seeks to destroy antiquated stereotypes of Asian culture.
Collecting chapters from authors all over the world, this volume examines and expounds the rich tapestry of meanings, expressions, and cultural insights found in the medium of comics.
Drawing New Color Lines explores the history, production and culture of graphic narratives depicting Asian Americans. It examines how Japanese manga and Asian popular culture have influenced Asian American comics, and discusses how these narratives depict the "look" of race. By focusing on what graphic narratives mean for different audiences, particularly across the Pacific, the book questions the assumption that manga images work seamlessly in transnational contexts.
