A complete documentary history of African Americans in one cartoon narrative. As National Book Award winner Charles Johnson points out in his Introduction, the history of African American cartooning is itself a vibrant one, and almost unknown. STILL I RISE is a great contribution that not only recounts history, but also makes history.

About this title

Synopsis

Chronicles achievements made since the time of slavery, including contributions to the arts, science, literature, and politics

Reviews

In comic-book form, this nonfiction work presents American history from the African American viewpoint and offers nuggets of little-known information on the impact of African Americans on American history. Though it is impossible to offer a comprehensive history in 206 pages, the Lairds?publishers of The Griots, a popular Afrocentic comic strip?and freelance artist Bey have done a credible job of raising issues of concern to all Americans. While the cartoon format draws readers in, the black-and-white illustrations are often simplistic, and the character dialog doesn't expand the story but serves primarily to reiterate the narrative description. Still, this is a worthwhile acquisition for public libraries with collections of graphic narratives or African American history.?Stephen Weiner, Maynard P.L., Mass.
