📘 Para leer al Pato Donald by Ariel Dorfman

First published in 1971 in Chile, this book reveals the capitalist ideology at work in our most beloved cartoons. Drawing on the hapless mice and ducks of Disney—curiously parentless, marginalized, always short of cash—Ariel Dorfman and Armand Mattelart dissect the narratives of dependency and social aspiration that define the Disney corpus. The original book was banned in Chile and sold over a million copies worldwide. This unique blend of political critique and literary analysis has stood the test of time.

First publish date: 1971

Genre: Politics & Government/Political Theory

Authors: Ariel Dorfman
