Constructing Childhood and Citizenship in Progressive Era Comics

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Examines the ways childhood was theorized in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century comic strips. Drawing from histories and theories of childhood, comics, and Progressive Era conceptualizations of citizenship and nationhood, Lara Saguisag demonstrates that child characters in comic strips complicated contemporary notions of who had a right to claim membership in a modernizing nation.
