Description
A presentation exploring how the British far right magazine Spearhead made use of cartoons and satire to communicate its ideas of identity to its audience, critiquing existing pillars of society such as politicians and the church, while presenting notions of white supremacy and shepherding, degeneracy of society and other races, and creating a conspiratorial threat to drive action.| Period | 27 Jun 2024 |
