5.0 out of 5 stars Valuable Political Insight, March 24, 2000
Ariel Dorfman offers the reader valuable insight into the way in which Latin America has been regarded and utilized by modern nations, governments, and corportions. "How to Read Donald Duck" is interspersed with unbelievable (although real) Disney cartoons possessing ridiculous political implications: vultures representing Hegel and Marx, dogs dressed up like Che and Castro... you name it, and Disney has apparently given it to Latin America.

5.0 out of 5 stars A necessary starting-stone., January 7, 2003
Of course, in a vastly changed historical context, bourgeois ideology cannot produce anything approaching the seemingly reactionary facility of the Disney comic (just compare Disney with Buffy, Xena, or other postmodern heroes!). However, anyone trying to understand changes in the ideological outlook of Mass Culture must, of necessity, regard this book as one's unavoidablke starting-stone. That's that.

5.0 out of 5 stars A historian's must, February 13, 2007
By Roberta M. Greenier (Albuquerque, NM) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Ariel Dorfman is perhaps one of the most prolific authors of our time. How to Read Donald Duck is a must read for any historian, sociologist, or any person wanting to find social enlightenment.
