From the 1870s to the 1930s, American cartoonists devoted much of
their ink to outlandish caricatures of immigrants and minority
groups, making explicit the derogatory stereotypes that circulated
at the time. Members of ethnic groups were depicted as fools,
connivers, thieves, and individuals hardly fit for American
citizenship, but Jews were especially singled out with visual and
verbal abuse. In The Implacable Urge to Defame, Baigell examines
more than sixty published cartoons from humor magazines such as
Judge, Puck and Life and considers the climate of opinion that
allowed such cartoons to be published. In doing so, he traces their
impact on the emergence of anti-Semitism in the American Scene
movement in the 1920s and 1930s.
