Synopsis "Jews and American Comics: An Illustrated History of an American Art Form"

Readers have long cherished the work of comic masters such as Will Eisner, Jules Feiffer, and Art Spiegelman, all of whom happen to be Jewish. Few, however, are probably aware that the Jewish role in creating the American comic art form is no less significant than the Jewish influence on Hollywood filmmaking. Filled with the most stunning examples of this vital artistic tradition, Jews and American Comics tells us how the "people of the book" became the people of the comic book.With three brief essays by Paul Buhle, the well-known historian of American Jewish life, Jews and American Comics offers readers a pictorial backstory tracing Jewish involvement in comic art from several little-known strips in Yiddish newspapers of the early twentieth century through the mid-century origins of the modern comic book and finally to contemporary comic art, which has at last found its place in museums, in private collections, and on the bookshelves of both critics and millions of avid readers.Featuring more than two hundred examples of the work of Jewish comic artists going back a century--much of which has been unavailable to the general public for decades--this extraordinary collection will be a major contribution to Jewish and American cultural history. Jews and American Comics is also a gorgeous package, sure to be treasured by comic art lovers and fans of Jewish culture--and destined to become the bar and bat mitzvah gift of the decade.

Paul Buhle es un historiador y activista estadounidense nacido en 1944. Se ha destacado por su trabajo en la recuperación y difusión de la historia radical, así como por su innovación en el uso del cómic documental como medio para contar historias sociales y políticas. A lo largo de su carrera, ha sido editor, escritor y profesor, dedicando gran parte de su vida académica a estudiar movimientos sociales, cultura popular y luchas de izquierda en Estados Unidos y otras regiones.

Buhle fue un miembro activo del movimiento estudiantil en los años 60 y ha dirigido importantes proyectos de historia oral relacionados con la izquierda política americana. Además, ha coeditado enciclopedias y numerosas obras sobre el radicalismo, el activismo y el papel de la cultura en los movimientos sociales.

Su interés en los cómics documentales lo llevó a editar y colaborar en libros que combinan la narrativa gráfica con la investigación histórica, acercando así temas complejos a un público más amplio. A lo largo de su vida, ha sido profesor en diversas universidades y ha influido en generaciones de estudiantes y activistas.

Actualmente, sigue activo en el ámbito académico y continúa explorando nuevas formas de comunicar la historia social y política a través de medios accesibles y creativos.
