Radical Prints | The Berkeley Poster Collection | 6 — Amerika, Police, Soliders
Just as many posters attempt to understand and humanize the Vietnamese in a way that 'official' political discourse seemed to disallow, many posters also grapple with the nature of 'America', trying re-define the meaning of 'patriotism' and depicting the war as divisive and anti-American. Others pay particular attention to those who were authorized to use force on behalf of the state, such as soldiers and policemen. The images of 'pigs' take up popular tropes of the time, and many achieve a kind of Orwellian foreboding.
