Drawing Liberalism is the first book-length critical examination of the political and social impact of the political cartoonist Herbert Block—popularly known as Herblock. Working for the Washington Post, Herblock played a central role in shaping, propagandizing, and defending the ideals of postwar liberalism, a normative set of values and assumptions that dominated American politics and culture after World War II.Best remembered for his unrelenting opposition to and skewering cartoons of Joseph McCarthy and Richard Nixon, Herblock introduced the term "McCarthyism" into the American political lexicon. With its unstinting and unapologetic support for the liberal agenda, across a career spanning over fifty years at the Post, Herblock’s work affords a unique lens through which to interpret and understand the shifts and contours of twentieth-century American political culture, from the postwar period through the civil rights era into the Nixon presidency.

A resource for planning, reimagining, and participating in the digital transformation of graduate study in the humanitiesHow are the humanities adapting to the rise of digital technologies, and what are some of the tried and tested ways that postsecondary institutions are proving the importance of humanities training at the graduate level? Bringing together a diverse group of scholars and students, Digital Futures of Graduate Study in the Humanities invites a reimagining of current models of graduate education to address ongoing challenges to the humanities and to create sustainable and humane pedagogies, classes, and institutions.  The essays cover a wide range of topics, including the skills required to learn and practice digital methods, the resources needed to support students and faculty in this enterprise, the lack of meaningful credit for undertaking this time-intensive work, and the diminished employment possibilities within academia for graduate students who emerge with these skills. Mapping the broad terrain through which to address and intervene in these particular issues and beyond, this book offers deep insights into the digital futures of graduate studies in the humanities.
