In the stories gathered in \u003ci\u003eYellow Negroes and Other Imaginary Creatures\u003c\/i\u003e--drawn between 1994 and 2011, and never before available in English--he uses stark, endlessly inventive black-and-white brushwork to explore love and race, oppression and escape. It is both an extraordinary experiment in visual storytelling and an essential, deeply personal political statement. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith unsettling power, the title story depicts the lives of undocumented migrant workers in Paris. Alain, a Beninese immigrant, struggles to protect his family and his white girlfriend, Claire, while engaged in a strange, tragic dance of obsession and repulsion with Mario, a retired French Algerian policeman. It is already a classic of alternative comics, and, like the other stories in this collection, becomes more urgent every day. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis NYRC edition is an oversized paperback with French flaps, printed endpapers, and extra-thick paper, and features new English hand-lettering and a brand-new story, exclusive to this edition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yvan Alagbé\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1681371766\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781681371764\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York Review Comics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/03\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.40h x 8.50w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/22\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2018 pg. 58","brand":"Yvan Alagbé","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44045325730047,"sku":"9781681371764","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_93018826-3f5d-472e-a400-933e81dfc8f2.jpg?v=1684978081","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/yellow-negroes-and-other-imaginary-yvan-alagb-9781681371764","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
