We Served The People

In China, an entire generation’s most formative years took place in remote rural areas when city kids were sent to the countryside to become rusticated youth and partake in Mao’s mandated Great Leap Forward. In an inspiring tale, Emei Burrell shares her mother’s true experience during the Down to the Countryside Movement of the early 1970s, which sought to increase agricultural outreach and spur social and ideological change amongst youth. Burell’s stunning illustrations honor her mother’s courage, strength, and determination during a decade of tremendous political upheaval.

Välfungerande barn

De flesta böcker om barn och barns situation i skolan skrivs ur perspektivet: Varför strular Maria? – och – Hur ska vi kunna få rätsida på Johan? I den här boken har författaren vänt på perspektivet och funderat kring frågorna: Vad är det som gör att Emilia är en så bra kamrat? – och – Varför har Jonatan alltid med sig rätt saker till skolarbetet? För att kunna hitta svar på frågorna genomförde Bosse Elftorp en serie djupintervjuer med föräldrar till cirka hälften av skolbarnen i den egna klassen. Resultatet får du ta del av här. Del 1 består av Elftorps hypoteser och föräldrarnas svar, del 2 av författarens sammanfattning och hans speglingar av föräldrarnas svar utifrån erfarenheterna från hans egna 40 år som lärare.

Comics and Migration

Comics and human mobility have a long history of connections. This volume explores these entanglements with a focus on both how comics represent migration and what applied uses comics have in relation to migration. The volume examines both individual works of comic art and examples of practical applications of comics from across the world. Comics are well-suited to create understanding, highlight truthful information, and engender empathy in their audiences, but are also an art form that is preconditioned or even limited by its representational and practical conventions. Through analyses of various practices and representations, this book questions the uncritical belief in the capacity of co...

Den goda makten – finns den?

“Pappa – vem är det som har stor makt ?” Frågan ställs av Jonatan, 5 år, som sitter på köksgolvet och leker. Jag, pappan, står och diskar. Eftersom jag är pedagog, lågstadielärare till professionen, börjar jag fundera ut ett bra, heltäckande sätt att angripa ämnet så att en 5-åring kan förstå. Jag är ju i alla fall yrkesskadad sedan många år i branschen... Så börjar boken. Svaret på frågan får läsaren mot slutet. Det är så häpnadsväckande, enkelt och djupt. Frågan har följt Bosse Elftorp alltsedan den ställdes och är på sätt och vis det som har fått honom att börja skriva. Mellan frågan och svaret drar Elftorp historiska linjer av maktutövning, ...

As one of the most simple, effective and powerful forms of communication, it comes as no surprise that comic art has been misappropriated by governments, self-interest groups, do-gooders and sinister organisations to spread their messages. World War Two comic book propaganda with Superman, Batman, and Captain America bashing up cartoon enemies was so ubiquitous that there was barely a US comic untainted by the war effort. And theres no shortage of examples from the other side of the globe. This book examines every kind of propaganda, and how positive or pernicious messages have been conveyed in the pages of comic books over the last 100 years. Subject areas include racism and xenophobia, antidrugs comics, pro-drugs comics and religious comics. Plus, there is a look at social programming; how gender roles were re-enforced in comic book stereotyping, and how comics broke free to produce a whole slew of gay superheroes, no matter how ham-fistedly written. This book is a fascinating global, visual history of some of the most contentious, outrageous, unbelievably unusual and politically charged comics ever published. Written by renowned comics historian and author, Fredrik Strömberg.

Second Thoughts

"Jess is a novelist without a novel. John is a photographer running away to New York. Though it only lasts a moment, their brief encounter in Stansted Airport will transform both their lives. How do you measure the distance between satisfaction and settling? At what point does wishful thinking take on a life of its own? In 'Second thoughts,' the clean, emotional ink-work of Swedish newcomer Niklas Asker guides two characters, in two worlds, through modern city life and love. Reality and fiction overlap in this haunting, deceptive, and inspiring graphic novel about the lives we imagine for ourselves, the lives we imagine for others, and the lives we ultimately must live"--P.
