Book Synopsis
From the 1870s to the 1930s, American cartoonists devoted much of their ink to outlandish caricatures of immigrants and minority groups, making explicit the derogatory stereotypes that circulated at the time. In The Implacable Urge to Defame, Baigell examines more than sixty published cartoons and considers the climate of opinion that allowed such cartoons to be published.
