Political Cartoon

The main visual effects in this cartoon is the 3-d black image of Africa with the white foot print stomped right through the middle. I believe the cartoonist is trying to address the issue of European colonization of Africa without considering the native people. I believe the way the cartoonist has illustrated this cartoon that he believes that this is wrong. The evidence to support my opinion is the way it is illustrated as if the Europeans are just walking all over Africa like it is a doormat. I also believe the way the illustrator has illustrated Africa as so perfectly shaped and defined as well as not illustrating things such as the resources that the Europeans were colonizing for suggests that he believes that their reasons are not a worthy excuse. To make the cartoon more effective the illustrator could of made the shoes sole more white to illustrate that the shoe was that of an European.
