A comprehensive and heavily illustrated exploration of Asian political
cartooning
Description

In *Asian Political Cartoons*, scholar John A. Lent explores the history
and contemporary status of political cartooning in Asia, including East
Asia (China, Hong Kong, Japan, North and South Korea, Mongolia, and
Taiwan), Southeast Asia (Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar,
Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam), and South Asia (Bangladesh,
India, Iran, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka).

Incorporating hundreds of interviews, as well as textual analysis of
cartoons; observation of workplaces, companies, and cartoonists at work;
and historical research, Lent offers not only the first such survey in
English, but the most complete and detailed in any language. Richly
illustrated, this volume brings much-needed attention to the political
cartoons of a region that has accelerated faster and more expansively
economically, culturally, and in other ways than perhaps any other part of
the world.

Emphasizing the “freedom to cartoon," the author examines political
cartoons that attempt to expose, bring attention to, blame or condemn,
satirically mock, and caricaturize problems and their perpetrators. Lent
presents readers a pioneering survey of such political cartooning in
twenty-two countries and territories, studying aspects of professionalism,
cartoonists’ work environments, philosophies and influences, the state of
newspaper and magazine industries, the state’s roles in political
cartooning, modern technology, and other issues facing political
cartoonists.

*Asian Political Cartoons* encompasses topics such as political and social
satire in Asia during ancient times, humor/cartoon magazines established by
Western colonists, and propaganda cartoons employed in independence
campaigns. The volume also explores stumbling blocks contemporary
cartoonists must hurdle, including new or beefed-up restrictions and
regulations, a dwindling number of publishing venues, protected vested
interests of conglomerate-owned media, and political correctness gone awry.
In these pages, cartoonists recount intriguing ways they cope with
restrictions—through layered hidden messages, by using other platforms, and
finding unique means to use cartooning to make a living.
Reviews

"In its collection of analytical histories and ‘state of the cartooning
nation’ for the most important cartoon art territories of Asia, *Asian
Political Cartoons* represents a highly significant contribution to the
literature on the form."
- John Etty, author of Graphic Satire in the Soviet Union: “Krokodil”’s
Political Cartoons
