I missed the Drawn & Quarterly lunch of this fine piece of cultural history because I was out of town, then had to wait to get it while D&Q replenished their stock. It's a fascinating book, full of scenes I watched from the edges and people I still know.

⚠️ For those unfamiliar with the term “remigration,” it does not only mean deportation of undocumented immigrants but also the expulsion of non-white people to the country of their racial or ethnic ancestral origin without regard to their citizenship, legal status, or place of birth.
