[Comicsstudiessociety] IJoCA book for review: Bandits, Misfits, and Superheroes (USA ONLY)

[Mike Rhode]

Martin, if you look at the links below, you'll see a place where you can
request review copies. I'd suggest you line up a review venue, possibly
this group's Inks journal, and then send in your request.  We only got 1
hard copy and even if it hadn't been taken, it would cost more to mail to
you than the book cost.

Good luck!

Mike

>> A wrestling with whiteness and white supremacy throughout the history of
>> comics creation
>> Description
>>
>> American comics from the start have reflected the white supremacist
>> culture out of which they arose. Superheroes and comic books in general are
>> products of whiteness, and both signal and hide its presence. Even when
>> comics creators and publishers sought to advance an antiracist agenda,
>> their attempts were often undermined by a lack of awareness of their own
>> whiteness and the ideological baggage that goes along with it. Even the
>> most celebrated figures of the industry, such as Jerry Siegel and Joe
>> Shuster, Jack Jackson, William Gaines, Stan Lee, Robert Crumb, Will Eisner,
>> and Frank Miller, have not been able to distance themselves from the
>> problematic racism embedded in their narratives despite their intentions or
>> explanations.
>>
>> *Bandits, Misfits, and Superheroes: Whiteness and Its Borderlands in
>> American Comics and Graphic Novels* provides a sober assessment of these
>> creators and their role in perpetuating racism throughout the history of
>> comics. Josef Benson and Doug Singsen identify how whiteness has been
>> defined, transformed, and occasionally undermined over the course of eighty
>> years in comics and in many genres, including westerns, horror, crime,
>> funny animal, underground comix, autobiography, literary fiction, and
>> historical fiction. This exciting and groundbreaking book assesses industry
>> giants, highlights some of the most important episodes in American comic
>> book history, and demonstrates how they relate to one another and form a
>> larger pattern, in unexpected and surprising ways.
