"Barbaric Intercourse" tells the story of a century of social
upheaval and the satiric attacks it inspired in leading periodicals
in both England and America. Martha Banta explores the politics of
caricature and cartoon from 1841 to 1936, devoting special
attention to the original "Life" magazine. For Banta, "Life"
embodied all the strengths and weaknesses of the Progressive Era,
whose policies of reform sought to cope with the frenetic
urbanization of New York, the racist laws of the Jim Crow South,
and the rise of jingoism in the United States. "Barbaric
Intercourse" shows how "Life's" take on these trends and events
resulted in satires both cruel and enlightened.
Banta also deals extensively with London's "Punch," a sharp critic
of American nationalism, and draws from images and writings in
magazines as diverse as "Puck," "The Crisis," "Harper's Weekly,"
and "The International Socialist Review." Orchestrating a wealth of
material, including reproductions of rarely seen political
cartoons, she offers a richly layered account of the cultural
struggles of the age, from contests over immigration and the role
of the New Negro in American society, to debates over Wall Street
greed, women's suffrage, and the moral consequences of Western
expansionism.
