How to Read Donald Duck: Imperialist Ideology in the Disney Comic

David Kunzle (transl. and introd.)
New York: International General (1975), 112 pp.
"The authors analyze Disney's comic "to reveal the scowl of capitalist ideology behind the laughing mask, the iron fist beneath the Mouse's glove." This has become a classic in Third World countries, especially in Latin America, where it is regarded as a touchstone for the interpretation of American media. The authors have included a lengthy bibliography of additional Marxist studies on the two principal themes they treat in Donald Duck - cultural imperialism and the comic book."
