I See the Promised Land

Arthur Flowers, Manu Chitrakar, Guglielmo Rossi

This graphic novel version of the life of Martin Luther King Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement in the United States of America is an exciting dialogue between two very different storytelling traditions. Arthur Flowers, African-American writer and griot, tells the story in lyrical prose while Manu Chitrakar, traditional Patua scroll-artist from West Bengal, India, paints a series of powerful visuals that capture with drama and force the truly iconic moments of King’s life. In the process, King’s struggle transcends its context, and becomes truly universal.
