Making the Toussaint Louverture Graphic Novel w/ Sakina Karimjee & Nic Watts

Making the Toussaint Louverture Graphic Novel w/ Sakina Karimjee & Nic Watts

In this great episode of Guerrilla History, we are joined by the creative team behind the new graphic novel Toussaint Louverture: The Story of the Only Successful Slave Revolt in History! This tremendous work is the graphic novelization of a long lost CLR James play about the Haitian Revolution (which, incidentally, starred the great Paul Robeson the only time it was staged). In this conversation, we talk about this play and the process of adapting it, as well as the objectives behind doing so. A great discussion about how to make subjects like the Haitian Revolution more accessible to broad audiences!

Sakina Karimjee is a theatre designer and draughtsperson, an activist and socialist and co-creator of graphic novels with her partner Nic Watts.

Nic Watts is an illustrator, activist and socialist. He has created artwork for numerous fiction and non-fiction books for children and adults, as well as other publications, websites, political campaigns and newspapers. He is the co-creator of graphic novels with his partner Sakina Karimjee. You can follow him on instagram @nicwatts_illustrator
