New graphic history: Debating Truth

Debating Truth: The Barcelona Disputation of 1263 by Nina Caputo, the latest book in the Oxford University Press series of graphic histories, is out now. It explores the theological debate, held before King James I of Aragon, between Nahmanides and the Dominican Friar Paul, the relationship between Christians and Jews in medieval Spain, and how the same event can be understood in contradictory ways by different people. Read more about it at OUP's website or on Amazon, where you can also view the first pages of the book.

Inhuman Traffick art

Art from Rafe Blaufarb's graphic history Inhuman Traffick: The International Struggle Against the Transatlantic Slave Trade (Oxford University Press, ISBN: 9780199334070) has been added to my portfolio.

Inhuman Traffick

Inhuman Traffick by Rafe Blaufarb is the third graphic history I've illustrated for Oxford University Press.

The book tells the story of the slave ship Neirsée and its passengers, crew and human 'cargo', and through it the history of the 19th century transatlantic slave trade, the naval and political fight against the slavers, and the personal tragedies caused by the trade. Read more about the book at the OUP website, and look inside at Amazon.
