The People of the Indus

This brilliantly researched collaboration between a graphic artist and archaeologist meticulously presents the story of the Indus Valley Civilization in a comic-book format. Through an unnamed narrator, it presents complex historiographical issues accessibly, not shying away from difficult debates of origin and identity. The imagination of the Indus cities requires fidelity to known objects and structures. The book adheres to this closely.
