Reviews

""Strange Fruit and Bitter Roots is an extraordinary contribution to the growing library of scholarship on comics, race, and history. Comprehensive and thoughtful, Stein uncovers a distinct set of formal techniques and cultural strategies that storytellers use to explore the meanings of the past through contemporary African American comics."" - Qiana J. Whitted, author of Desegregating Comics: Debating Blackness in the Golden Age of American Comics
