ETHS 405 Comics and Race

Comics have long been a forum to define what is essentially American within US popular culture. Debates about national belonging, gender roles and racial formation are embedded in everything from Superman to The Avengers, to graphic novels like Maus: A Survivor’s Tale and Watchmen. This class will explore constructions of heroism, relationships between text & image, and current youth culture.
