She reveals how cartoonists such as Nicholas Garland and Peter Brookes present assimilation as the goal for the portrayed minorities. At the same time, this goal is deemed impossible\u003cbr\u003ebecause difference is ontological and unchangeable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCentral to the cartoons explored in this book is the construction of identity and the concept of ‘us’, demonstrating the role cartoons play in the stability and enduring power of the archetype. Ahmed suggests that cartoons illustrate how racial and religious prejudice subtly interface and reinforce one another. A depiction of religious difference, Ahmed argues, is often actually a cover for outright racism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55283381338456,"sku":"9781350294141","price":36.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781350294141.jpg?v=1767458731","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/religious-and-cultural-difference-in-modern-british-political-cartoons-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
