Newspaper cartoons are significant because their inherent ambiguity withstands scrutiny as historical and anthropological texts. This article focuses on G andhi's writings and analysis of newspaper cartoons published in the S outh A frican press. Addressing the I ndian community in a period of growing resistance, G andhi situated cartoons as a part of the necessary vocabulary for understanding the B ritish mind. Serving a pedagogical role, through his translation and interpretation, G andhi also urged his readers to see what the whites were already seeing. Engaging G andhi as an interlocutor in the colonial visual milieus he inhabited shows the newspaper cartoons’ intimate connections with colonialism and resistance
