Arriving at the backdoor, she slid the door open and walked inside ever so quietly. She placed herself onto the wall of the house and idled across it, diving under each window to avoid being spotted. Jennifer quietly tiptoed around the garage leading to the gate that led to the backyard. She just sighed and said to herself, “Maybe if a sneak in quietly, she won’t know that I’m home.” It barely leaves her with enough time for herself.

Three savage turn-of-the-century conflicts defined the milieu in which such rhetoric flourished: the Anglo-Boer War of 1899–1902 in South Africa the U.S. The imperialist rhetoric of “civilization” versus “barbarism” that took root during these years was reinforced in both the United States and England by a small flood of political cartoons-commonly executed in full color and with meticulous attention to detail.Ĭonquest and occupation of the Philippines initiated in 1899 and the anti-foreign Boxer Uprising in China that provoked intervention by eight foreign nations in 1900.

Driven by competition with each other and economic pressures at home, the world’s major powers ventured to ever-distant lands to spread their religion, culture, power, and sources of profits. This unit examines cartoons from the turn-of-the-century visual record that reference civilization and its nemesis-barbarism.
