Through five stories between 1857 and 1947, the cartoonist Amazing Ameziane and Sybille Titeux de la Croix tell, in a stylized graphic album, modern racism and the unbearable violence of these barbaric acts.

It's an album that we close with a bitter taste in the mouth, and which gives food for thought.

It reflects one of the most disastrous parts of our world, and of our history: racism.

Five stories over a century or so, between 1857 and 1941. Five stories between Africa, Europe and America, through the destinies of human beings considered as subhuman, even as animals.

Relentless facts, very harsh words, sometimes unbearable stories told at the height of men, women and little girls through words and illustrations.

The words are those of

Sybille Titeux de La Croix

who slips in turn into the skin of the victims, the executioners and the witnesses.

The illustrations, powerful, full of shadows and contrasts, are those of

Amazing Ameziane

.

The album is titled “

Onyx and Bronze, stories of human zoos

 ”.

It is published by Editions du Rocher.
