Yang’s Boxers and Saints is an engaging way to introduce our cohort to the Boxer Rebellion that took place in China in at the turn of the twentieth century.<\/p>\n
To be candid, my knowledge of the Boxer Rebellion is virtually now limited to Yang’s perspective. There is much for me to learn of this part of the world. In fact, as I leave with my family for a church camping trip for the next four days, I am looking forward to finishing these books, as I am only about halfway through.<\/p>\n
Yang’s graphic novel is emotional and seemingly culturally aware as it tells the story of Bao, the young boy who grows up to become enraged by the injustice he perceives is being pressed upon his village by western imperialism and with it, Christian evangelization. It is a tragic story that has been told of our religious tradition for centuries on nearly every continent around the world.<\/p>\n
