Une Histoire Populaire de l'Empire Américain

Based on Howard Zinn's seminal work, this French graphic novel adaptation from Delcourt presents a critical, ground-level history of the American Empire. Launched in 2014 and currently spanning one volume, the series reframes U.S. history through the perspectives of its marginalized peoples and dissidents. It is most associated with the adaptation by writer and artist, offering a visually compelling and accessible entry into Zinn's revisionist narrative. This project matters as a bold, internationally produced counter-narrative to traditional American exceptionalism.
