“Burke and Britons: Edmund Burke and the Irish Other in 18th-Century Cartoons.” In tracing the rise of chauvinism and xenophobia in late-18th-century Britain, Pettinato focuses on the era’s scurrilous cartoons that caricatured Burke as an ‘other,’ an un-British threat to Britain and its empire, by often drawing upon stereotypes of the Irish and Jesuit priests. The study will particularly benefit from consulting the Library’s outstanding collection of British satirical prints. Louis Dean Valencia, also a doctoral candidate in history at Fordham University, received a fellowship to support research for his dissertation, “Making a Scene: Movida, Comic Books, Punk Rock, Anti-authoritarian Youth Culture, and Creating Democratic Spaces in Franco’s Spain, 1955-1984.”
