About the book

Turning the spotlight on over 100 comic strips, books and graphic novels to feature black characters from all over the world over the last century, resulting in a fascinating journey to enlightenment away from the hideous caricatures of yore. Beginning with the habitually appalling images of blacks as ignorant 'coons' in the earliest syndicated strips, continuing with the colonialist images of Tintin in the Congo through to the 1960s attempts at integration as well as the first wave of black strips. Each comic is spotlighted with a essay and illustration.
