O serie de caricaturi politice chinezesti impotriva S.U.

Culled and restored from reviewing hundreds of Eastern newspaper pages and illustrations, this set of 35 images [le puteti vedea pe toate urmand link-ul oferit mai jos] represents what we consider the best late 50s editorial cartoons (Manhua) from China and Indochina. Set during a time of escalating western imperialism, these images react against U.S. military actions in Laos and Vietnam, and represent a unique moment of political commentary. It seems to be a hidden history, too. It’s with some pride that we indicate most of these comics have never before been re-published, and even fewer have ever been exhibited or documented for U.S. audiences.
