NO LAUGHING MATTER: XENOPHOBIA AND ANTI-RADICALISM IN EARLY AMERICAN POLITICAL CARTOONS by BIANCA RENEE BISSON A THESIS Presented to the Department of Political Science and the Robert D. Clark Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts June 2014 An Abstract of the Thesis of Bianca Renee Bisson for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the Department of Political Science to be taken June 2014 Title: No Laughing Matter: Xenophobia and Anti-Radicalism in Early American Political Cartoons Approved: __d_---l ~--~--------- Anita Chari While political cartoons have a reputation for upholding the tenants of democracy and freedom, the editorial images of the late 19th century and early 20th century show quite the contrary. In fact, they promote elements of early American life such as racism, misogyny and anti-radicalism, and make negative statements about the aspects of society that did not conform to conservative White Anglo-Saxon Protestantism. [j Acknowledgements First of all, I would like to thank my thesis advisors, Professors Anita Chari, Alison Gash, and Casey Shoop. Professor Chari is a wonderful instructor, whose class on radical political theory motivated me to continually think critically about the world. Professor Gash teaches in a captivating way that drove me to question the status quo from a legal perspective. Professor Shoop, though I have not had the chance to take a class from him, made me feel at ease and comfortable despite the often high demands of the Clark Honors College. I would also like to thank my parents for supporting my education from afar and my friends for creating a safe and warm environment to come home to at the end of a long day of studying. -

CHAPTER 8 Bohemians Greenwich Village and The Masses Joanna Levin Ever since Rodolphe, Henri Murger's prototypical struggling writer, stood before the grave of Mimi, his lost love and partner in the romance of bohemia, crying, "Oh my youth, it is you that is being buried," la vie boheme has represented a fabled transitional period between youth and mature adulthood in many an individual life, memoir, and Bildungsroman (Seigel 45). Similarly, ever since its inception in the wake of the 1830 Rev olution in France, bohemianism - as a larger subcultural movement has flourished during periods of historical transition. It was in the tumultuous lead-up to the Civil War that la vie boheme first took root in the United States (in a basement beer hall beneath the sidewalks of Broadway and Bleecker and on the pages of the New York Saturday Press), but it was dur ing the 1910s, the decade known for ushering in a host of radical and mod ernist movements, that bohemia assumed its most famous American form in New York City's Greenwich Village. -

This article considers the role of radical cartoonists in propagandizing for, and forging unity within, this culture of popular radicalism. By articulating a common set of anti-capitalist values and providing a recognizable series of icons and enemies, radical cartoonists worked to generate a class politics of laugher that was at once entertaining and didactic. Through a discussion of the works of Art Young for The Masses, Ryan Walker’s cartoons for the socialist newspaper, Appeal to Reason, and the proletarian humor of Joe Hill and the IWW, this article argues that radical cartooning did not merely provide comic relief for the movements, but was an active force in framing socialist ideology and goals in a revolutionary age. There can be no question about leftwing humor being ‘‘radically’’ different, for that is precisely what its creators intended it to be. -
Art Young and the Cartoons of American Socialism
Radical Art: Art Young and the Cartoons of American Socialism Arthur Henry Young (1866-1943), known to the world as Art, was arguably the most widely recognized and beloved cartoonist in the history of American radicalism. A working cartoonist for sixty years, Art Young drew thousands of simple black-line drawings with biting captions that appeared in big-city newspapers, liberal magazines, and, most importantly, in the socialist, labor, and radical press of the early twentieth century. Starting in Wisconsin shortly after the end of the Civil War and ending in the midst of World War II, Art Young’s life, art, and activism span the Age of Monopoly and the Great Depression. At the peak of his influence, Art’s clear yet stylish cartoons helped give a visual design and humo rous edge to a wave of anti-capitalist social movements—socialist, anarchist, communist, Wobbly, feminist, labor, and Black radical—organized in opposition to the unchecked power of monopoly capitalism, Wall Street finance, government surveillance, and racist nationalism. For these reasons, after the passage of a century or more, Art Young’s cartoons strike us as surprisingly relevant to our current era of inequality, ecological crisis, police violence, and war. Formally educated in art schools in Chicago and Paris, Young chose graphic and cartoon art from an early age as his “road to recognition.” Art recognized that painting was singular and slow, whereas, in his words, “a cartoon could be reproduced by simple mechanical process and easily made accessible to hundreds of thousands. I wanted a large audience.” Young published his first cartoon in Judge magazine in 1883 and thereafter learned his craft in the editorial offices of Chicago and New York’s biggest papers, working for a time under Thomas Nast, the most important American cartoonist of the nineteenth century. -

Brendese Assistant Professor of Government College of William and Mary, Special Member Marie Hojnacki Associate Professor and Chair of Graduate Program, Department of Political Science *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT My dissertation titled ―Fictive Images and the Feminist Democratic Imagination,‖ examines post-9/11 identity politics through Art Spiegelman‘s craft of cartooning. Using Spiegelman‘s work on 9/11, In The Shadow Of No Towers (2004), I study both his style of image making (cartoons) and his images (cartoon figures of animals and ghosts) to reflect on new possibilities for feminist democratic theory and politics. I use the term ―fictive images‖ to describe the cartoon images that work beyond categorical oppositions of the fictional and non- fictional. Fictive images constitute a mode of visualization which in its blurring of the identity categories of the human and real, deftly illuminates the construction of these categories themselves. -
"Racial and Religious Democracy"
Stanford Law Review Volume 72 June 2020 ARTICLE “Racial and Religious Democracy”: Identity and Equality in Midcentury Courts Elizabeth D. Katz* Abstract. In our current political moment, discrimination against minority racial and religious groups routinely makes headlines. Though some press coverage of these occurrences acknowledges parallels and links between racial and religious prejudices, these intersections remain undertheorized in legal and historical scholarship. Because scholars typically study race and religion separately, they have overlooked the legal significance of how race and religion coexist in both perpetrators and victims of discrimination. By contrast, this Article demonstrates that the intersection of racial and religious identities has meaningfully influenced legal and political efforts to achieve equality. Drawing from extensive archival research, this Article unearths forgotten yet formative connections between racial and religious antidiscrimination efforts, at the local through federal levels, from the 1930s through the 1950s. To examine these links, this account * Associate Professor of Law, Washington University in St. Louis.

American Art in the 1920S and 1930S Was Fully Connected to the Social and Political Context in Which It Was Made
Art, Nationalism, Democracy, and Propaganda… Some of the many ideas of American art between the World Wars… American Art in the 1920s and 1930s was fully connected to the social and political context in which it was made. Artists were concerned with creating a truly American art, with integrating their artwork and political and social convictions, and with changing the role of the artist in society. They were also very concerned with surviving the Depression. Artists created propaganda, worked for the government, unionized and were in varying degrees politically and socially engaged. Some actively separated their art-making for money by creating illustrations, children’s books and other mass-market (even in a diminished market) publications while they published radical graphics in socialist magazines. While for years this period of American art was considered un-important, it has recently been the subject of scholarly and popular recognition. More and more people are fascinated with the ways in which artists pictured the world they lived in, used their artwork for political purposes, and worked hard to create an art for everyman. The democratic urges of artists and government programs helped to create artwork which still holds power to communicate about art and history. This history and this art have implications for your classroom. • NYS Standards for Social Studies (Standards 1, 4, 5) • This art is relevant to students lives and interests (visual learners and students with an interest in justice can be easily engaged). • Reading the stories in art from this era helps students gain confidence in reading visual images and in understanding how (and why) artists speak to different audiences. -
