Abstract
what a cartoon image is capable of expressing. The images that most intrigue Wanzo exemplify her view that “black cultural productions are always sparring with ghosts” (220). The comic artists she discusses in her remarkable book are amused by this endless sparring match, and their evocation of the clumsy struggle is both an acknowledgment of real human suffering and an assertion of hope. Wanzo brings the richness and seriousness of their art into focus as never before.
期刊介绍：
As the official publication of the Division on Black American Literature and Culture of the Modern Language Association, the quarterly journal African American Review promotes a lively exchange among writers and scholars in the arts, humanities, and social sciences who hold diverse perspectives on African American literature and culture. Between 1967 and 1976, the journal appeared under the title Negro American Literature Forum and for the next fifteen years was titled Black American Literature Forum. In 1992, African American Review changed its name for a third time and expanded its mission to include the study of a broader array of cultural formations.
