Abina and the Important Men
Abina and the Important Men: A Graphic History | Trevor R. Getz, Liz Clarke
4 posts | 6 read | 5 to read
Abina and the Important Men is a compelling and powerfully illustrated "graphic history" based on an 1876 court transcript of a West African woman named Abina, who was wrongfully enslaved and took her case to court. The book is a microhistory that does much more than simply depict an event in the past; it uses the power of illustration to convey important themes in world history and to reveal the processes by which history is made.

Someone stole my seat. How can something so little take up so much space?

"I knew I was a slave, and so I decided I would come here and complain!" A powerful graphic for a powerful quote. #fridayreads
