We’re talking with Professor Blaufarb about writing graphic history. His Inhuman Traffick: The International Struggle against the Transatlantic Slave Trade: A Graphic History is part of the Oxford University Press Graphic History Series. Blaufarb tells us about what kinds of histories he thinks work best for graphic history, and how and why you might want to have images tell a history. We also talk about how scholars become editors of book series (as well as the good and bad parts of being a book series editor), and Blaufarb’s method for getting to the pleasurable parts of writing.
