Social Commentary

I would have to recommend all of Shaun Tan's books if youare at all interested in Social Commentary:
http://www.shauntan.net/books.html

I bought the whole lot if anyone want to read them.
The Rabbits is about colonization.
The Arrival is a wordless book about the immigrant experience,
and Tales from Outer Suburbia (I wish I had tought of that title) is about the experience of being from outside the status quo culture. Our whole family experienced that when we moved to B'lodge.

I haven't read the others.
Very powerful means of expression.
