Representations of Genocide in Cartoons John Lestrange

Representations of Genocide in Cartoons is an attempt to analyze a widely consumed form of entertainment media for educational purposes. The book examines a wide variety of cartoon media, including cartoons designed for children and those designed for a more mature audience. It also examines cartoons across cultural divides, touching on Western Animation like Avatar the Last Airbender and Japanese Anime like Mobile Suit Gundam SEED. Representations is the first book of its kind and will hopefully change the way we watch cartoons and spur us to examine the media we consume more critically.
