Explore the deep connection between comics and cultural memory with this academic study from Routledge. Part of the Memory Studies: Global Constellations series, this book examines how visual culture frames testimony through landmark graphic novels from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The text looks at how comics represent the experiences of underprivileged subjects, including migrants, refugees, and those living under oppressive regimes or during wartime. It also addresses the visual representation of individuals managing specific health conditions. By connecting literary and cultural debates, this work examines the intersections of ethics, testimony, trauma, and human rights. It provides a necessary look at how visual storytelling serves as a tool for memory and a medium for expressing complex human experiences.
