The empire's old clothes
Book • 2010
In The Empire's Old Clothes, Ariel Dorfman examines how familiar books, comics, and magazines such as the Lone Ranger, Babar, Donald Duck, and Reader's Digest convey ideological messages that reinforce cultural imperialism and social hierarchies.
Originally published in 1983 and widely praised, this work reveals how popular culture shapes perceptions of progress, development, and power from childhood onward.
The book includes a new preface by Dorfman and remains a foundational text in the study of cultural hegemony and imperialism.
