catherine_mack 's review for:
Boxers
by Gene Luen Yang
Part of a duology about the effects of foreign interference in China during the Victorian era. Bloody Colonialism has so much to answer for!
I really had only the barest knowledge about the Boxer Rebellion. The author really captures and knocks you over with the mess that this “intervention” caused for the poor people in China. As I read this and the accompanying gn, ‘Saints’, suddenly current global politics made a lot more sense.
No happy endings in these books, pretty hard hitting but essential reading.
