Summary
  • Stromberg examines the stereotypical images of African Americans in the comics from an 1830 cartoon to modern American, French, Spanish, and other images.
  • "The presentation includes close to one hundred comics spanning two centuries, a wide variety of genres and topics, and all parts of the world. Together they tell a story of racism and prejudice, but also of a slow but sure development--and of a hope of a better future"--From book jacket.
