Red Rosa : a graphic biography of Rosa Luxemburg di Kate Evans
While I was glad to learn about Rosa Luxemburg’s life, ultimately this book did not work for me. I was not a fan of the art style, and most pages were pretty text-heavy. The content was a bit dense with all the theory, and towards the end it felt like a rapid succession of dates and names.
Converts are always the most enthusiastic!
For many years, I was distinctly sniffy about graphic books. They were for children, right? Wrong!!! Books like this, give a fantastic introduction to the world of Rosa Luxemburg. The images in this book are particularly good. The author has a clear empathy with Rosa and it flows from every page.
The great thing about it is that it doesn't stop at giving an insight into Rosa's life: it also provides an opening into her philosophy. Rosa Luxemburg was a Marxist but she found herself at odds with Lenin's decision to ban anybody, or group that disagreed with him. Rosa believed that "Freedom is always and exclusively freedom for those who think differently."
In Communism, as in life, we could do with more female leadership (but NOT from Liz Truss!!!)… (altro)

Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.
I am glad Evans is highlighting the terrible conditions of the Calais and Dunkirk refugee camps, and some of the storytelling and framing is interesting. However, she takes a glib tone a little too frequently and likes to hit you over the head with metaphor. And I'm not a huge fan of her artistic style.
