Amazona.
Written and illustrated by Canizales.
Translated from Spanish by Sofía Huitrón Martínez.
Graphic Universe, 2022.
Andrea, a young Indigenous Colombian woman, has returned
to the land she calls home. Only nineteen years old, she comes to mourn her
lost child, carrying a box in her arms. And she comes with another mission.
Andrea has hidden a camera upon herself. If she can capture evidence of the
illegal mining that displaced her family, it will mark the first step toward
reclaiming their land.
War, grief, protest, Indigenous rights, sexual assault,
displacement – so much going on in such a slim volume – but one that packs a
bunch.
