Synopsis

Urban Combat explores the surprising relationship between real-world military tactics and their depiction in action manga. It reveals how the intricate choreography of urban warfare, from historical battles to modern military doctrine, subtly influences the dynamic cityscapes and pulse-pounding action sequences found in popular Japanese comics.

 
The book unpacks the evolution of urban combat, highlighting how elements like barricades reminiscent of revolutionary Paris or the intense house-to-house fighting seen in Stalingrad are reimagined for entertainment. This study delves into the visual language of manga, examining how artists translate complex military concepts into compelling imagery. It analyzes specific manga series, uncovering the surprisingly accurate, albeit stylized, depictions of urban combat principles.

 
By bridging the gap between military history and popular culture, Urban Combat offers a new lens through which to analyze both fields, providing insights into the creative process and cultural narratives surrounding conflict. The book systematically progresses, first introducing core concepts of urban warfare and then exploring their visual representation in manga. It also analyzes the cultural context, examining how Japanese attitudes towards warfare shape the portrayal of urban conflict. This approach provides readers with a framework to critically analyze other works of fiction and appreciate the depth of research and artistic skill involved.

    This real-life Western tells the story of how citizens in a small Arizona border town stood up to anti-immigrant militias and vigilantes. 
     
     
     
    The Marauders uncovers the riveting nonfiction saga of far-right militias terrorizing the border towns of southern Arizona. In one of the towns profiled, Arivaca, rogue militia members killed a man and his nine-year-old daughter in 2009. In response, the residents organized and spent two years trying to push  the new militias out through boycotts and by urging local businesses to  ban  them. The militias and vigilante groups again raised the stakes, spreading Pizzagate-style conspiracy theories alleging that town residents were complicit in child sex trafficking, prompting fears of vigilante violence. 
     
      
     
    The Marauders flips the standard formula most often applied to stories about immigration and the far right. Too often those stories are told from the perspective of the ones committing the violence. While Strickland doesn't shy away from exploring those dark themes, the far right are not the protagonists of the book. Rather, the people targeted by hate groups, and the individuals who rose up to stop them in their tracks, are the heroes of this dramatic story.

    A poetic sequence using the 1841 slave revolt aboard the brig Creole as a lens through which to view the vitality of Black lives and the afterlife of slavery.In 1841, the only successful, large-scale revolt of American-born enslaved people erupted on the ship Creole. 135 people escaped chattel slavery that day. The event was recounted in US Senate documents, including letters exchanged between US and British consulates in The Bahamas and depositions from the white crew on the ship. There is no known record or testimony from the 135 people who escaped. Their story has been lost to time and indifference. Quenton Baker’s ballast is an attempt at incomplete redress.With imagination, deep empathy, and skilled and compelling lyricism, Baker took a black marker to those Senate documents and culled a poetic recount of the Creole revolt. Layers of ink connect readers to Baker’s poetic process: (re)phrasing the narrative of the state through a dexterous process of hands-on redactions.ballast is a relentless, wrenching, and gorgeously written book, a defiant reclamation of one of the most important but overlooked events in US history, and an essential contribution to contemporary poetry.
