Red Lines Av Cherian George, Sonny Liew

<b>A lively graphic narrative reports on censorship of political cartoons around the world, featuring interviews with censored cartoonists from Pittsburgh to Beijing.</b><br><br>Why do the powerful feel so threatened by political cartoons? Cartoons don''t tell secrets or move markets. Yet, as Cherian George and Sonny Liew show us in <i>Red Lines</i>, cartoonists have been harassed, trolled, sued, fired, jailed, attacked, and assassinated for their insolence. The robustness of political cartooning--one of the most elemental forms of political speech--says something about the health of democracy. In a lively graphic narrative--illustrated by Liew, himself a prize-winning cartoonist--<i>Red Lines</i> crisscrosses the globe to feel the pulse of a vocation under attack.<br><br>A Syrian cartoonist insults the president and has his hands broken by goons. An Indian cartoonist stands up to misogyny and receives rape threats. An Israeli artist finds his antiracist works censored by social media
