Drawing on Anger: Portraits of U.S. Hypocrisy is a collection of Eric J. Garcia's most unabashed political cartoons about U.S. history and politics from 2004 to the present. They offer a scathing indictment of Republicans, Democrats, and the self-proclaimed greatest country on earth. Garcia reconstructs pivotal moments in history-such as U.S. complicity in the disappearance of forty-three Mexican students, genocide and torture in Iraq, and femicide along the U.S.-Mexico border-and reflects on the larger themes of anti-immigration laws, global imperialism, veterans affairs, and the conquest of the Americas. His cartoons are equally critical of both political parties and of both the United States and Mexico-lobbing criticism and satire in every direction. For over a decade Garcia has been serving up inked visuals with the sharpest of political critiques through a Chicano lens. If you re looking for funny punch lines, these aren t the cartoons for you. But if you want to pull down Uncle Sam s pants and see what s really going on, this is your book.
