In 1832, Prudence Crandall opens a school for young girls in Canterbury, Connecticut. The town welcomes it, thinking educating girls is harmless. But when Crandall announces she will welcome Black girls, the community erupts in hostility.
Thirty years before the abolition of slavery, fifteen young Black women face insane prejudice. Surrounded tells the story of Crandall's school and its legal legacy for civil rights. Crandall v. State (of Connecticut) became the first full-throated civil rights case in U.S. history, influencing Supreme Court decisions like Dred Scott v. Sandford and Brown v. Board of Education. Discover how Prudence Crandall became a civil rights pioneer.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Born in 1985, Stéphane Fert grew up in the southwest of France, near the Pyrenees mountains. He obtained a diploma in animation in Paris but nevertheless defined himself as self-taught. It is notably thanks to his taste for role-playing games that he learns to tell stories. As for images, he was first influenced by modern painting and was passionate about working with colors, but he was also interested in animation and in particular the artist Mary Blair. He made his debut in the world of illustration through the Café salé collective before launching into comics. In “Morgane” (Delcourt, 2016), as in “Peau de mille bêtes” (Delcourt, 2019), for which he received the Imaginales prize, he deconstructs tales and legends by questioning the position of female characters. With screenwriter Wilfrid Lupano, he signed the children's comic strip "When the circus came" (Delcourt, 2017), which received the Tibet Prize, and the highly acclaimed "Blanc Autour"(“Surrounded”) winner of numerous other prizes. In 2023, he illustrates the new covers of the “Harry Potter” saga for Gallimard. 2-time Eisner Award nominee Wilfrid Lupano was born in Nantes in 1971, but it was in Pau that he would spend the majority of his childhood. His was a childhood spent buried in his parents’ comic book collection, even if his wild imagination and interest in writing is due above all to his love for role-playing games. As a young adult, Lupano worked in bars to finance his studies – a combination of philosophy and English. He has since blossomed with a multitude of graphic novels published with many prominent publishers and has been the recipient of a number of awards.PRODUCT DETAILS
