The individual chapters are framed within a larger enquiry that considers definitive aspects of the postcolonial condition in twenty-first-century (con)texts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors demonstrate that the fields of comic-book production and circulation in various regional histories introduce new postcolonial vocabularies, reconstitute conventional \"image-functions\" in established social texts and political systems, and present competing narratives of resistance and rights. In this sense, postcolonial comic cultures are of particular significance in the context of a newly global and politically recomposed landscape. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume introduces a timely intervention within current comic-book-area studies that remain firmly situated within the \"U.S.-European and Japanese manga paradigms\" and their reading publics. It will be of great interest to a wide variety of disciplines including postcolonial studies, comics-area studies, cultural studies, and gender studies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Binita Mehta\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 041573813X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415738132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/20\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Binita Mehta","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064953254143,"sku":"9780415738132","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a193e1b5-6850-4df1-a921-688ef8475b12.jpg?v=1768672148","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/postcolonial-comics-binita-mehta-9780415738132","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
