Seit ihrer Jugend war Rosa Luxemburg davon überzeugt, daß sich die Welt verändern muß. Schon in jungen Jahren kämpfte sie für die Rechte der Arbeiterschaft und die Idee des Sozialismus. Rosa Luxemburg war Jüdin, sehr gebildet, besaß einen scharfen Verstand und ein mitreißendes Temperament. Sie war eine großartige Rednerin und brillante Schriftstellerin. Konflikte scheute sie nicht. Sie kämpfte auf der Straße und ließ sich nicht einschüchtern,nicht von den Freikorps, nicht von der Polizei, auch von Morddrohungen und Gefängnisaufenthalten nicht. Die Graphic Novel "Rosa" von Kate Evans zeigt Rosa Luxemburgs intellektuelle Welt und setzt ihre Ideen in den Kontext einer bewegenden Lebensgeschichte.

Through Kate Evans's firsthand report from the Calais Jungle we meet the
refugees, get a vivid look at their living conditions, and witness the
impressive resourcefulness of the volunteer operation that sprang up to help.
Evans transforms the human 'flood' into shimmering droplets as she works and
eats with the refugees, getting to know them as individuals, forging intimate
connections while sketching their portraits. Evans both captures the wrenching
reality of a seemingly intractable problem and makes an eloquent argument for
its solution: open borders. -Alison Bechdel, author of Are You My Mother? and
Fun Home It's impossible to read Threads without feeling an emotional
response, from outrage to tenderness to deep frustration. -James Yeh, Vice
Threads is helpful, and even necessary: as existentialists like Camus and
Sartre pointed out, we really feel compassion and empathy when we see the
suffering of others. Which makes visual-oriented journalism, like this 'comics
journalism' so powerful: we 'see' the people Evans saw and met. -John Yohe,
Comics Bulletin This colorful, large format graphic novel, which Verso is
publishing in June, takes readers into the heart of the jungle; the troubled,
overcrowded refugee camp in Calais, France, that was home to many African and
Middle Eastern refugees until it was evacuated in 2016. British cartoon-artist
Kate Evans fashions a moving, visceral record of the families and
conversations she witnessed there, which she juxtaposes with images of anti-
immigrant rhetoric displayed on cell phones. -Eleanor Sheehan, PopSugar A
moving first-person account of a volunteer in the refugee camp at Calais,
France. -Publishers Weekly [Threads] focuses on a specific place and
individual experiences, but they form a universal composite of suffering that
has been met with varying degrees of sympathy, panic and fatigue from 'host'
societies in Europe and North America ... Evans challenges the idea of where
we consider the legitimate crossing of boundaries to begin: Migritude is the
way of the world today, it can be resisted or embraced, but regardless, it is
part of us. -Michelle Chen, Culturestrike With a heavy heart and bearing
artistic gifts, Kate Evans draws the faces of refugees coming from Syria,
Africa, and elsewhere to 'The Jungle,' a makeshift camp in Calais, France, and
in doing so Evans captures the refugees' full humanity, intelligence, and
suffering as they search for family, home, and dignity. An antidote to the
anti-immigrant populism that is raging across the world, Threads is the real
story that puts a human face on a very topical news item. -Book Riot Evans'
latest graphic novel recounts her time volunteering at one of the many refugee
camps that have sprung up along the French coastline to house Africans and
Middle Easterners who have fled their home countries. Using her talents as an
artist to draw portraits of the camp's inhabitants, Evans gets to know some of
them and their stories ... [Threads] has an agenda, but it's an important one,
and Evans' account of the refugee crisis is moving nonetheless. -Eva Volin,
Booklist Emphasizes the power of comics journalism to not simply depict, but
to interpretively transform. -PopMatters Evans's raw, bright drawings of dark
outcomes will attract anyone interested in the international refugee crisis,
as she allows us to walk briefly in her-and their-shoes. -Martha Cornog,
