Digging into American Culture

American Media and Cartoon Racism - October 2008
Originally uploaded by Pesky Library

Every junior at Governor’s Academy writes a history thesis paper as part of their graduation requirement. We strive to provide the resources needed by each student. This year, a new topic caused us to add these titles. One student’s exploration of the treatment of minorities in American media, particularly cartoons, challenged us to add new (and old!) titles to the collection. Other resources from our databases and interlibrary loan will help this student delve deeply into a topic that piqued her curiosity.
