Graphic Self-Consciousness, Travel Narratives, and the Asian American Studies Classroom: Delisle’s Burma Chronicles and Guibert, Lefèvre, and Lemercier’s The Photographer By Monica Chiu As graphic narratives find solid purchase in the literary marketplace and in academia, students flock to related courses.
