She reveals how cartoonists such as Nicholas Garland and Peter Brookes present assimilation as \u003ci\u003ethe\u003c\/i\u003e goal for the portrayed minorities. At the same time, this goal is deemed impossible because difference is ontological and unchangeable.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eCentral to the cartoons explored in this book is the construction of identity and the concept of \"us\", demonstrating the role cartoons play in the stability and enduring power of the archetype. Ahmed suggests that cartoons illustrate how racial and religious prejudice subtly interface and reinforce one another. A deception of religious difference, Ahmed argues, is often actually a cover for outright racism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTahnia Ahmed \u003c\/b\u003ereceived her PhD in Theology and Religious Studies from King's College London, UK.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50928963715346,"sku":"9781350294103","price":131.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_8080d497-5964-4f2c-a012-f24f254c2491.jpg?v=1739024965","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/religious-and-cultural-difference-in-modern-british-political-cartoons-9781350294103","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
