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\u003ci\u003e The Implacable Urge to Defame, \u003c\/i\u003e Baigell examines more than sixty published cartoons from humor magazines such as \u003ci\u003eJudge, Puck\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eLife \u003c\/i\u003eand 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matthew Baigell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0815635109\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815635109\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Syracuse University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/13\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.81h x 6.09w x 0.48d","brand":"Matthew Baigell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926475145471,"sku":"9780815635109","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_0ac1aeb1-a898-4698-97dd-60b457d9c83d.jpg?v=1681083279","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-implacable-urge-to-defame-matthew-baigell-9780815635109","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
