Reviews

Plath scholar Carl Rollyson has distilled Plath's diaries, journals, letters, stories, prose as well as information from six biographies of Plath (1932-63), to create a day-by-day-and sometimes hour-by-hour-chronicle of her activities. . . . The volume is likely to serve best as a sourcebook for researchers. who will be aided by the extremely detailed index.--L. Simon "CHOICE"

The book's most interesting contribution is its showcase of works by contemporary Indigenous creators, showing its respect for Indigenous cultures and recognition of their constant evolution and work toward resurgence.--Jean Sébastien "American Review of Canadian Studies"

A stunning overview of indigeneity as a transnational and borderless graphic culture, transcending our very own histories to celebrate undermined complexities, cultural resistance, and the resiliency of our peoples. From Incan and Taino to Māori, Australian, and Canadian Indigenous histories and experiences, Aldama brings together a dazzling array of scholarly voices that shout loud for indigeneity empowerment!--Federico Cuatlacuatl, award-winning Indigenous multimedia artist and founder and director of Rasquache Artist Residency in Puebla Mexico

An extraordinary exploration of Indigenous comics and graphic novels, this collection of essays unites writers, artists, and Native storytellers to grapple with Indigenous and aboriginal decolonization and futurity from mainstreamed Indigenous representation to decolonial imaginaries. This expansive volume sets out to denaturalize settler colonialism through imaginative analysis of graphic indigeneity.--John Jota Leaños, artist and professor of film and digital media at University of California, Santa Cruz
