at www.luminosoa.org. From fashion sketches of smartly dressed
Shanghai dandies in the 1920s, to multipanel drawings of refugee
urbanites during the war against Japan, to panoramic pictures of
anti-American propaganda rallies in the early 1950s, the
polymorphic cartoon-style art known as manhua helped define China's
modern experience. Manhua Modernity offers a richly illustrated,
deeply contextualized analysis of these illustrations across the
lively pages of popular pictorial magazines that entertained,
informed, and mobilized a nation through a half century of
political and cultural transformation. In this compelling media
history, John Crespi argues that manhua must be understood in the
context of the pictorial magazines that hosted them, and in turn
these magazines must be seen as important mediators of the modern
urban experience. Even as times changed-from interwar-era
consumerism to war-time mobilization to Mao-style propaganda-the
art form adapted to stay on the cutting edge of both politics and
style.
