EDITORS COMMENTS
The Last Yankee: A powerful portrayal of the late 19th-century American sentiment towards immigrants is captured in this thought-provoking cartoon print. Created in 1888, during a time of heightened racial tensions and political action, this image reflects the discriminatory attitudes prevalent at that period. In the heart of a bustling city street, a lone Yankee stands tall amidst a throng of curious immigrants. The artist skillfully employs caricature to depict both sides of the divide. The Yankee figure embodies strength and confidence, representing an idealized version of native-born Americans who viewed themselves as superior to newcomers. On the other hand, the diverse group surrounding him showcases various immigrant stereotypes prevalent at that time. Each character represents different ethnic backgrounds and highlights their perceived differences from mainstream America. This provocative artwork serves as a stark reminder of historical discrimination against immigrants in America's past. It invites viewers to reflect on how these prejudices shaped society then and how they continue to impact our present-day conversations around immigration. As we examine this piece today, it prompts us to question our own biases and challenge any lingering misconceptions about those seeking refuge or opportunity within our borders. Ultimately, it reminds us that embracing diversity is not only morally right but also essential for fostering unity and progress within our nation.
