Book Description
Created by Jim Davis, the Garfield comic strip now appears in 2,570 journals worldwide and is read by some 263 million people around the world, making it the world's most widely syndicated comic strip in history as recorded by Guiness World Records. Here are the latest two new titles in this bestselling series which now boasts slaes of almost 7 million copies. Each title contains over 120 daily strips...not yet seen in book format. AUTHOR: Jim Davis was born on a farm which had at one time 25 cats. Early in his career he was assistant to 'Tumbleweeds' cartoonist, Tom Ryan, from whom he learned the skills and discipline to become a syndicated cartoonist. After one unsuccessful strip entitled "Gnorm Gnat", he looked around and noticed a few strips about dogs but none about cats. He combined his wry wit with the art skills he had honed since childhood and GARFIELD, a fat, lazy, lasagna-loving, cynical cat was born. Jim says Garfield is a composite of all the cats he remembered from his childhood, rolled into one feisty orange fur ball. Garfield was named after Jim's grandfather, James Garfield Davis. Jim Davis has had many successes with GARFIELD including four Emmy Awards for Outstanding Animated Program and induction into the Licensing Hall of Fame (1998), but his most prized awards are from his peers in the National Cartoonist Society: Best Humor Strip (1981 and 1985), the Elzie Segar Award (1990), and the coveted Reuben Award (1990) for overall excellence in cartooning.
Closing the Gate
Author: Andrew GyoryPublisher: Univ of North Carolina Press
ISBN: 080786675X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 371
Book Description
The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, which barred practically all Chinese from American shores for ten years, was the first federal law that banned a group of immigrants solely on the basis of race or nationality. By changing America's traditional policy of open immigration, this landmark legislation set a precedent for future restrictions against Asian immigrants in the early 1900s and against Europeans in the 1920s. Tracing the origins of the Chinese Exclusion Act, Andrew Gyory presents a bold new interpretation of American politics during Reconstruction and the Gilded Age. Rather than directly confront such divisive problems as class conflict, economic depression, and rising unemployment, he contends, politicians sought a safe, nonideological solution to the nation's industrial crisis--and latched onto Chinese exclusion. Ignoring workers' demands for an end simply to imported contract labor, they claimed instead that working people would be better off if there were no Chinese immigrants. By playing the race card, Gyory argues, national politicians--not California, not organized labor, and not a general racist atmosphere--provided the motive force behind the era's most racist legislation.
