Ignacio, de la Cruz, Emmanuel & Toribio, The Forbidden Book: The Philippine-American War in Political Cartoons T'Boli, 2004

Docs Populi

Two historical moments of immense turbulence, the Philippine American War and the Chinese Cultural Revolution, were times of distinctive artistic production, times when political cartoons and posters changed or buttressed popular attitudes. Jorge Emmanuel, Lincoln Cushing and Ann Tompkins discuss the books they've produced about art, politics, and imperialism.
