Books by Roy Douglas

Published in newspapers or magazines, political cartoons depicted popular concerns such as the Depression, rising nationalism and aggression between World War I and World War II. This study examines the political and social issues revealed by political cartoons during this period.

The grandeur of the great imperial powers of the 19th century was constantly subverted by the cartoons of the day. Roy Douglas provides a clear historical narrative which explains the subtle meaning below the surface of the cartoons.
