POLITICAL CARICATURE OF THE AFRICAN

ERA (1900-1941)
Report by: Sheila Mae M. Batucol
■ Philippine political cartoons gained full expression during the
American era. Filipino artists recorded national attitudes toward the
coming of the Americans as well as the changing mores and times.
While the 377 cartoons compiled in this book speak for
themselves, historian Alfred McCoy’s extensive research in
Philippine and American archives provides a comprehensive
background not only to the cartoons but to the turbulent period as
well.
■ Artist-writer Alfredo Roces, who designed the book, contributes an
essay on Philippine graphic satire of the period.
