Cartoon Cuba: Race, gender and political opinion leadership in Judge, 1898

Seldom has the United States witnessed so sharp a turnabout in the dominant images used to portray a foreign entity as Cuba’s iconic fall from fair-skinned maiden to racialised caricature in the pictorial world of 1898. The featured cover and centrefold illustrations of Judge, a humour magazine controlled by the Republican Party, used race and gender as codes to reflect the desirability of closer or more distanced US connections with the island. This article examines Judge’s partisan opinion leadership and the interplay between popular compassion for victims of imperial abuse and race-based limits on inclusive sentiments engendered by sympathetic publicity.
